The last few weeks have offered up an explosion of odonates. Not sure why, but I seem to be seeing more varieties of damselflies these past few weeks. They’re not as big and fast as the dragonflies and they’re weaker fliers so they perch more when the winds blow.
The problem with the wind blowing is framing up a shot. Damsels perch on the flimsiest of reeds so the same puff of wind that makes it harder for them to fly makes it harder for me to frame them.
They really are lovely, and quite complex. How these little jewels evolved into the amazing creatures they are is beyond my comprehension. I have to think they had a little help along the way…nothing this beautiful happens by accident.
Tomorrow I’m breaking out the new 110 macro. Stoked.
