Been having lots of fun recently down by the river near our house. Its been such great weather recently and whenever I'm not revising (cough) I'm down there.

So far I think I have seen 3 types of damselflies, and a lot of the fun comes from trying to identify them.

Here are spme of my favorites. Im still trying to get the hang of macro photography, and Im interested to see what sort of compostion works best.
