Damsel 'in Distress' Fly

Her legs are hairy and she has a big date tonight! What is a girl to do?

Saw this gorgeous beauty while wading in a creek today. I was barefoot and killing my newly pedicured feet on the rocks. I was drawn to the peacock blue of the damsels. There were tons on the trees on the banks and flitting around.

i think her hairy legs are quite becoming on her :)

Until you pointed it out, I'd not noticed the fancy design of her leg hairs. Great macro.

[Julia]

Fabulous closeup!

[Jane Anderson]

Great detail! We've been seeing so many dragonflies as well, sometimes two stuck together, apparently on a "date."

[Kate]

Beautiful colors!

[Ashley]

Beautiful girl indeed! Too bad about those leg hairs tho...

[Taffy]

Mmm...they'd need such a teeny shaver and it would be hard to hold with those wings...gorgeous shot!

She is beautiful... I think her date will forgive her, since he probably has some hairy legs, too.
