Hi,

Large Red I believe.

One from this morning in our garden, we arrived home just in time to find this little thing emerging in our pond, by the time the camera was set up it was too late to get the emerging images (darn) but got a whole sequence of images at different stages from recently emerged to being ready to fly...

All the best

Phil :wavey:

Strong little fella too Phil - the way he's pulling the stem down :biggrin: :biggrin:
Nice one

nicely done Phil, the red background is interesting. I imagine it complemented the damsel's colours well when they started to come through.

Very nice Phil, how do you like the new sigma 150 OS, as I am thinking of selling my 105vr nikkor macro.

Phil.
