Dragons and Damsels and Bugs - Oh My !

The beautiful weather continues, so despite aching joints, I managed to drag myself down to the Ffrwd - was very glad I did !

As you can see from the first 3 or 4 shots - love was very much in the air !








 I followed this big chap round the area for quite a while !


 Absolutely love the beautiful colours and patterns on his back




Don't know what this brightly coloured beetle is . . .

 ...But he obviously objected to having his picture taken - and flew off!

Damsels

Loving the hot weather of the last few days, not least because it means some of my favourite photographic subjects are likely to be about - Damsel and Dragon flies.

One of my favourite stalking ground is actually the memorial pond at a local crematorium - its been cultivated as a wildlife pond, and its a location where the different types of damsel are more varied than anywhere else I tend to go.  Just a few short hours there today, and I think I have maybe 4  different species captured.
