A few weeks ago there were few insects around. In the last ten days or so with the return of damselflies and dragonflies, it feels like summer has arrived even though it’s still spring. I didn’t have my macro gear with me the day I took these photos, I used my 70-200mm and I had to crop quite a bit. I was pleased I could capture the detail.

The sawtooth detail on that leaf is pretty cool, too!

Delicate winged beauties. Saw one a few days ago and it reminded me how much I enjoy them. Thanks for posting these.

Interesting that you put this one up . I saw a blue damsel fly just the other day down at the edge of the woods. Great shots.

Wonderful to see the damselflies, Belinda. The second photo looks like they’re ovipositing.

The details are very pleasing, from the drop of water in the first photograph to the spiky edges of the leaf in the second – and the damselflies of course!
