STOPS ALONG THE WAY

DRAGONFLIES (TWO PHOTOGRAPHS

by 20 Comments

DragonfliesWhen I took the photograph of this mating pair, I didn’t notice the other insects in the frame until I downloaded the image. I did a larger crop to show the damselfly on the far left, and a few other hangers-on on the tree stump. It was a busy time of year for these insects.

    Very nice surprise, Belinda! The texture of the stump is a nice addition to the frame, too.

    And to think that next summer’s crop is whiling away its time under the ice, awaiting spring. 🙂

    I love the way a photograph can reveal more than we actually noticed at the time of taking it.

    Love it! Looks like the damselfly is newly emerged and yet to gain any colour, lucky the dragons are otherwise engaged or it could be brunch.

    I hadn’t noticed them either until you mentioned it. Sometimes our photos surprise us!
