Managed at last to get these. taken one handed while holding onto rocks behind me leaning over the pond, very difficult to squint through viewfinder from 6 inches away !
hope you like them.

Haven't seen such beautiful close up of a damselfly for a long time. Like esp. #1 - its unique composition. :ivar
