Take Your Lady by the Hand....um...or neck

By Assyrian
This is a pair of common blue damselflies about to "get jiggy wiv it".

Pic was taken in the height of summer on one of those rare days where it was both hot and sunny at a small pond in Ardwell, South West Scotland. There were literally dozens of pairs of damselflies moving about and I was spoiled for choice.

You're going to have to buy more memory cards for summer - either that or we'll rent you a lap top!!

Mind you, if you get more shots like this, it'll be worth it.

pretending to be (pop) culturally aware, eh?

Easy to see you're still off on the Patrick and Michael then!!
Networking seems to be paying off as well!!

Well composed / cropped and captured! Keep up the good work!

Don't mind him - he's just gutted he doesn't have the time to do the same!!

Still, hope you're better and back, chained to your desk soon - this is getting embarrassing!!!
