Description

thanks to you all for your votes and comments on the lil' blues.

Today it is a public holiday in France so I could go to my beloved spot on the mozzy lake.
When the rain had stopped ( we needed much more) the damselflies were out. I went after this one for ten minutes, creeping up on it wherever it moved
It is a male Banded Agrion

Love your title, love the colours, and the damsel is beautifully defined, with its lovely metallic sheen.

Stunning capture Annette.
So sharp and every detail of those wings so clear.
I'd love to see an Emerald but haven't even seen a blue one this summer!
