The next one is another Hawker, the Migrant Hawker.
Something a little different next. I found this feather caught on a leaf.
A couple of damsels getting it together,
Common Blue.
And a female Common Blue, that looks like she’s doing a hand signal.
And the last two, a couple of butterflies.
Small Copper
Common Blue
Enjoy the rest of the week.

Very nice bits of macro as well Keith.
I love these animals and your pics allways are realy excellent, they open my heart !!! thank you ! September is my most favorite month and so I m happy, tomorrow september is beginning, big hugh kathrin
These are really superb......What bird is the feather from?.....Just guess I wouldn't be able to tell....Well Ostrich or Peacock tail feathers I would hazard a guess at.
Thanks Roy. Hopefully the birds will be more visible soon though. :)
Thank you Kathrin. The year seems to be going so quickly.
No idea where the feather is from Adrian. I think your guess is a bit off the mark though lol
These are beautiful as always. Any idea what kind of bird dropped that feather? It's a lovely shot.
They are all beautiful, Keith! I haven't seen so many damsels and dragons this year but perhaps I just haven't got to enough of the right places.
The feather photo is lovely also :)
Oh beautiful hon...wow..I do love those dragonflies!!! WE have had a quiet bird year here..is really cold already. The feather is wonderful..wow!!
Hope things are well with you! Hugs, Sarah
Thanks Hilary. Not sure what bird dropped the feather. Not a colour I can match to a bird I can think of.
Thank you Jan. My local lake is full of dragons and damsels currently. Makes up for the lack of birds at the moment ;)
Thank you Sarah. The last couple of months here have been quiet for birds too.
Great macros Keith :) Superb set !
And the feather is really beautiful ! Love this one
Thank you Pescalune. Appreciate your comments :)
Hi Keith..Those are great details and color you captured in the micro Dragon and Damsel shots!!
Really like the feather hanging on..unfortunately thats the way I feel alot of the time !!
I posted a photo on my blog yesterday of what I believe to be a Twelve Spotted Skimmer but not sure!! No way like the beautiful photos you take !! Someday maybe!!
Thanks grammie.
Had a look at your Twelve Spotted Skimmer; what a beauty.
Wow Keith, that's a wonderful set of pictures. I just was stunned when I click on each of them to get the full size version. I loved also the feather on the leaf, it's a really cool composition! Well done my friend!
Thank you Chris. Glad you enjoyed them. :)
I love the Southern Hawker, you've been hard at it.
Thanks Bob. I've managed to get a few pictures over the last couple of days ;)
Excellent macro work. I suppose I'll have to save some pennies for a proper lens! Which one were you using?
Have a good week. FAB.
Cheers Frank.
The lens is the Sigma 105mm macro. Excellent lens.
Simply incredible macro shots here. Wow! The dragons and damsel are superb, but the common blue and the small copper really do something for me. What amazing little faces. ~karen
Very nice serie, the feather images is the best of them ;)
You have some terrific macros, well done!!
Karen, thank you for stopping by, and leaving a comment. Appreciate it. :)
Dominic, thank you. A chance shot that seems popular :)
Thank you for stopping by Harold. Appreciate your comments.
such large dark pool eyes on those butterflies, i think I prefer shots from the front like these than from the back even though you don't see all the colourings
Great stuff there Keith. You have become a dab hand with the macro shots.
Wow, those are magnificent photos!
Thanks Debbie. Yea, I prefer shooting them this way too.
Thank you John. An awful lot get binned in the process lol
Thank you Sarah :)
I love your macro shots..that blue pattern on that hawker is awesome!!! I would love a beaded bracelet with a pattern like that!!
Thanks Dixxe. Nature sure is a great designer.
