Lovely shot Pete! We have the same species here. We saw many more in June, I guess their season is coming to an end.

Ah, yes, they are mating in my neck of the woods too – I couldn’t remember their name, thanks Pete for jogging my memory! 😃

Thank you, Brian 🙂 They were a tricky pair to begin with for they kept flying off as a pair.

Great shot, Pete.
I’ve seen dozens of pairs of dragonflies, but never 2 damselflies together. Damselflies are not easy to photograph as they have such slim bodies.

Thank you, Vicki 🙂 I have seen a few mating pairs this summer and they can be a challenge to photo as they do move as a pair.
