Damselfly - The ActiveRain 2016 Photography Contest
This is my entry for category Real Life - animal sub-category...
I chose this photo because I love dragonflies and damselflies.. This photo was taken with no filter, with my samsung galaxy S7 edge.. It was taken at my home near our creek. I made a ton of photos that day, several were great..but this was my favorite..
Great capture of the wings of that dragonfly, ready to take off

There were several that day sitting around the creek.. I layed on the ground for an hour waiting to get a good shot!
Sheila, I have many photos of dragonflies myself...not an easy bug to photograph! The cobalt blues of this fella are so glorious. I am not familiar with "damselfly", I will have to look that one up--thanks for teaching me a new word!

Hi Sheila - That's a very nice close-up, and a great demonstration of how powerful our cell phone cameras can be. Thanks for another contest entry!

Like Sharon Tara - I've not heard of a damselfly before today. Still learning after all these years. That is a great photo ... love the detail and colors.
