Description

I was going to take a picture of a newly bloomed rose and I noticed another tiny damselfly that just flew up and landed on a petal.so afterwards I grabbed a speed square that was handy to show the relative size of the leaf.substantiating the damsel being 1" or less.I got 4 shots and she left thanks for viewing and any comments I cropped so I could leave full size

I knew I needed new glasses. I would have missed this tiny fellow. A super shot Richard and thanks for the tape for sizing as it gives you a better insight. Great macro.

Whoa! I cannot get over how tiny this thing is! I'm going to have to keep my eyes open and see if there is anything that small around here. I could just do a search and see what kinds live around her, too, but that makes way too much sense for me deal with!

Your observations certainly make me more aware of life which might otherwise have passed me by Richard. I tend to take my camera to the pub and take about 91 shots and just store them for posterity! lol I will me going to a local beauty spot this weekend to see what nature has in store. Well done my friend! Steve :o)

Discovery is as much art as rendering. Innovation is when the two tricks combine.
