More Damsels and Dragons

As dense drizzle descends this morning, it seems more than a couple of days ago that we were down on Wedholme - a return trip to photograph dragonflies. Despite it only being a week since our previous visit the colours are changing as the bog 'purples-up'. 

Across to Skiddaw...purpling-up.

Common Blue Damselfly. 

Female Black Darter.

Female Emerald Damselfly.

Male Emerald Damselfly.

Small Skipper. 

Zoomed in to the most colourful patch of bog ...and there was no way of getting closer....

Autmnal colours ....
