The backlighting on this lovely damsel and it's perch are set off very well by the background, Yun.  Your title fits the scene perfectly with it singing of summer.  This looks likely to be an Eastern Forktail.

Excellent shot, Yun.  I too love the back lighting, making the fine detail in both the damselfly and the plant show up ever so nicely.

Great detail and colors here Yun, especially for backlighting. All the little hairs and leaves show up and this has a nice BG consistent with the foreground plant.
