This is a stunning image of the damselfly!

Thank you for your interest in my hairstreak-- a small passion of mine-- I have seen several varieties where I live--look for them every year--drop everything when I see them and run for the camera!

I might get lucky and have another variety to post!

Award winning photo in my opinion.
Wow, the colors are just amazing.
Look at those shades of sienna and gold in the wings
the iridescent metallic blue of the body as if armor plated...
All the detail and wonderful contrast of pale green.
One for the books for sure.
Catherine
