I noticed this Damsel flying in my own garden. It choose a bamboo shrub to rest. It let me come very close with my camera. Sometimes it flew off, but always returned to to the same branch.

I like the complementary background colors to this bronze damsel. I wanted to see the larger version, but someone else's image comes up? :toast:

Sorry Jamie, I have attached the large image that should have been with my post in the flora gallery. I do not know how to delete or change it, does anyone know? :confused:

Ellen:
Have been back and forth on this image and meant to leave a comment but got distracted every time. Well I like this image overall. The DF is nicely captured and the perch is really cool especially the little curve of the leave tip. BG is really sweet.
