I returned to the Iris patch where I spotted the mating damselflies with my new Canon 100mm f/2.8 L Macro IS USM EF-Mount Lens.
A few Blue-tailed Damselflies used the broad leaves of the Iris plants as perches.
This fellow also used it as a lunch spot.

I looked at them all closely because I really admire the shadows!
Ah, I like the shadows, too! You may have noticed from my post “The Iris Patch” that there were limited options for where I could stand — I was happy to get light in the right direction.
Beautiful shots, Ellen. It was definitely worth clicking on the shots to see all of the detail that you were able to capture of these beautiful little damselflies.
Thanks, Mike! Glad that you liked them. Another delicate creature that is amazing in their flight capabilities and very existence.
