Damsel on a fly line eating lunch while I was eating my lunch while fly fishing. Fine dining had by all :)

Little artistic license used in this one. Just had to jazz this one a little with a fish portrait.

Great work! The fish version is really clever... reminds me of JAWS.

Nice set, Lynn--some wild colors! The 'bug in face shot' is a classic. :smile:

All the pictures are really great, Lynn. What lens set up did you use for these? I haven't been able to get anywhere near the magnification that you have on the Damselflies.

These are truly excellent, Lynn! No suggestions from me.

These are great! I love the irony of a damsel fly on a fly line while fly fishing. It looks like you had a great catch!

I think you've found your calling. These are wonderful!

Love the fish shot!

Great stuff, Really like the last one with the fish blended in, makes for a good story line.

Hi Everyone--thanks for all the kind words. I would admit I have fun in the bug world :) Part in parcel to being a fly fisherman as well. Lots of new discoveries made that didn't know like the little red bug riding on the little blue damsels. I didn't notice it until I had the photos on the computer. So it's been fun and now fun to share.

Anne it's a bug eat bug world out there :)

thanks again everyone for commenting and round three will be coming :)
