Always look on grass stems:



and in the reeds:



and in the trees:



and on the water (she's ovipositing - laying her eggs- on the side of the vegetation)



but be warned, they are watching you too!!!!

Narrelle, there are some real keepers in there, 2,3 & 5 do it for me.

Thanks Glen Number 5 was a bit of a tongue in cheek shot - looks like crap, but kind of funny Never never take a shot of a damselfly from the front !!! Way toooo weird

Rel, 5 has that alien feel I like it, confronts the viewer.

Rel - your shots are inspirational. I will be located very close to a pond through christmas and will try and get some shots

Glad to see that your damsels are not in distress. Oh, dear! Seriously good shots missy. 3rd shot is my fave, I think the insect stands out really well against the blue background.

Great shots Rel, were these with the 105mm as well?

Chris, K & Bob - thanks for commenting. Chris, inspirational not, but in the right place at the right time... maybe
K - that shot would definitely have been funny to see - I was pulling the casuarina down with my left hand, while poking my head and camera between the branches trying to get the shot with my right hand .... but worked
Bob - not sure if you are taking the piss or not.... of course the 105 is there another lens???? only kidding, yes it was with the 105

Beautiful close up shots here Narelle. I like the light blue background in the sky shot. Really makes the image pop for me.

Up to your usual high standard Rel. Lovely and crisp and great composition.
