- Photos NOT OK to edit
Right, so I was down by the river at my favourite spot (where there is the old mill, you remember?), and the place was buzzing with damselflies. (I think these are damselflies and not dragonflies? I never know the difference).
In order to get closer, I had to step through high grass and hidden nettles (ugh!) while wearing only shorts ... itchy legs for these - and I still could not get REALLY close or I'd have fallen into the river :shock:. But was it worth it?
What do you say about my attempts?

OF COURSE I would loved to have got that big-eyes-staring-at-me type of photo - but that was not to be had under the circumstances... oh well.
And sorry. Some of the blurriness is NOT compression ... couldn't blame that here, it is my position, she fully extended 300mm lens, maybe a not perfectly seen focus or camera shake...
