I was delighted on Tuesday to spot some damselflies along the edge of the Colorado River in Bastrop, Texas. I believe that they are American Rubyspot damselflies (Hetaerina americana), with a female in the first photo and males in the other two photos.
Normally I prefer natural perches vice manmade ones when photographing wildlife, but I really like the texture and color of the rusty corrugated drainage pipe on which the damselfly chose to perch for the final photo.

That “unnatural” corrugation actually made quite a nice composition for the damselfly and you couldn’t have asked for a better color match! Very nice, glad you are getting to see some nature on your trip.
Quite agree about natural perches
