I was getting caught up on some photos from last year, and came upon this series taken of a single animal. It was my first crack at Black Saddlebags, and some patience and excellent lighting produced some favourable results (I think, anyway). They may be one of my favourite species because of their instant recognizability (made-up word), striking patterns and migratory behaviour. The latter means you are often chasing them in cool places, like a beach on the Lake Erie shore (where these photos were taken).
