I am fond of challenging myself by photographing difficult subjects like tiny spiders and dragonflies in flight. However, I find equal joy in capturing the beauty of more common subjects in simple portraits, like this image of a male Big Bluet damselfly (Enallagma durum) that I spotted on a recent trip to Occoquan Bay National Wildlife Refuge.

So agree! Beauty IS everywhere in nature. Just have to stop running long enough to see it. Often very tiny.
Amazing photo. And, true indeed. Beauty surrounds.
Those blues are incredibly beautiful. 🤗🤗
Very nice composition of this beauty, Mike! This Bluet’s blues are spectacular.
I really liked this photo, Mike. The red lines of the plant and the lines of the Bluet are lovely, and of course the damselfly’s eyes, especially when clicked on, are fascinating. Thank you for finding beauty everywhere and sharing it with us.
Very nice Mike! Enjoyed seeing your Damsel image!
