Some fairly rare damsels I spotted near a river, about a mile from our home...

Awesome shots

That's really remarkable, Kevin!  I love the close ups showing even the drops of dew on the plant, and the delicate features of the damselflies.

Thanks for your comments.  If your idea of fun is walking through knee-high grass, squinting to spot these little critters, there's fun to be had in spring-early summer.  THEN once you spot 'em you have to sneak up on 'em and make no sudden moves.

Oh, and make sure all the settings on the camera is right, and the wind isn't blowing, and you aren't kneeling on something that bites.

All in the interest of a little rest, relaxation, and enjoying just 1/100th of a second of God's lovely creation.

In His Grip,
Kevin

Yup, I understand ... but that 1/100th of a second is sooooo much appreciated by dorks like myself ... and something I will never see on my own ... Thanks, again, for the effort and patience you have gone through to bring this moment of enjoyment to us, Kevin!
