Gaynor: Thanks :-) Go down to the stream behind your place with your camera and you could take photos like this - the place will be crawling with Banded Demoiselles in late spring and summer.
Ken: Thank you. They are all hand held (and Simon took some of them).
Summery pix on a grey morning... great!! When I read the word essay, though, I expected male [got male], males round a female [got males but no female], mating, egg laying, nymph, etc, etc... the complete life-cycle wotsit.... but got a lovely poem about flitting metallic blue arrows over a gentle stream on a warm summer's day... I could almost turn off the heating. [But I don't think I will just yet, having read Ken's post this morning!]
I strongly recommend clicking on each photo to enlarge them. They will open in a new window.

Stunning photos Susan and Simon.
Pour parodier Pierre Corneille dans Le Cid, vos coups d'essai sont des coups de maître!
