Meet Your Neighbours: Damselflies 1

I've taken quite a few images of damselflies for the Meet Your Neighbours project this summer. I think damselflies are some of the most delicate and attractive insects and so my hope is that the Meet Your Neighbours style shows off their beauty without any distracting background elements.

Here's a small selection of damselflies with more to come in future posts.
