Common Blue Damselfly, uncommonly beautiful.
I took this at a garden pond in Dorset UK. I believe the species is the Common Blue Damselfly, but whatever species it is, I have resolved to make more use of my macro lens and actually go out and see more of nature on my doorstep. I was walking yesterday when my father in law spotted a Common Spotted Orchid and I was annoyed that I hadn't attached my macro before leaving the house. I can see the wisdom of the old boy scout motto now, "Be prepared".
