No, I’m not accidentally repeating myself – this damselfly is called a ‘Beautiful Demoiselle’ and they truly are beautiful … so we have some beautiful Beautiful Demoiselles 😀
I just love these shots of this female Demoiselle – she was just resting there on the grass near the edge of the stream, and the sun was just in the right place to get this wonderful bokeh. One of these is now my desktop background 🙂
The males are even more beautiful, but much harder to photograph! They flit around all over the place and are often defending their patch against other males. However I did get a couple of half decent shots:
And I was extremely lucky to spot one pair mating and get some shots 🙂
I know not all of these are on the grass but the first couple could easily be trodden on, so at least part of these post was inspired by The Daily Post’s writing prompt: “Beneath Your Feet.”
Beautiful!

Wow! They form a heart in the last mating shot! I wonder if he is sucking her toes???? Fabulous shots. http://judydykstrabrown.com/2015/08/13/11569/

As I scrolled back over your post I took in the round dots of light (I had focused on the demoiselles in the greenery before), looked up bokeh and found out that’s what they are — a nice appreciation lesson for me😊
