Summer is short here, a whole lot of living has to be done in a brief period of time. True for many creatures, particularly damselflies. Normally skittish but not on this day.

Love the way a mating pair forms something of a heart. I know there’s no ‘love’ in it for them, but it still does my heart good! Hope your well, Belinda. Enjoy the summer!
Nice captures, Belinda! Wow on seeing and photographing the mating. I really like the composition on your second image, not to mention the blue of the damselfly.
Wonderful photos, Belinda, and how great when you get a chance to see and photograph insects in a rare, still moment. You caught that first pair in an amorous moment, and the second photo is striking in its color.
