This damselfly perched on a plant that contained an insect gall (the growth you see on the stem).
We are getting to the end of the damselfly season although dragonflies will continue to emerge into September. It feels as though summer has barely begin but I sense the change of season. The days are warm but the evenings are cool and the wildflowers are beginning to fade.

You made me laugh…I looked at the images before I read and thought the gall was of the Damselfly to hide his head! Very nice captures, Belinda, and lovely blue and green contrast.

Say it ain’t so! 😉 I, too, have noted the shift in light and temperature – wah!
At least your photos today are solidly summer in content – the first image looks charming in a peek-a-boo way. 🙂

Great photos of the damselfly. And I have the same feeling about the seasons, Summer has hardly begun and Autumn is knocking on the door.
