Banded Demoiselle

Not at my best today. A truck hit my car yesterday and my car is undriveable, my confidence is currently shot and it's stirred up the PTSD I had worked so hard to get rid of. Can't bear to post a photo of the damage, so here is something more beautiful. A banded demoiselle, type of damselfly. Saw it at Flatford on Sunday. Such lovely colours.

Oh, no, you are just having NO luck at the moment. So sorry about your car, but I trust you are ok, and that you manage to get your PTSD back under control. This is such a beautiful image to start the day. Focus on all the good stuff. xx

What a beautiful photo. fav.

Glad you aren't posting a photo of your car it would have been on here forever. Think positive and remember to breathe. Sending lots of hugs. xx

[Diana]

A stunning capture and gorgeous colours! I feel for you as you don't seem to have much luck lately. Same idea as Babs, only positive thoughts from now xx

[Kathy A]

So sorry to hear about your car. As long as you are ok is the main thing, cars are replaceable. Keep breathing, keep smiling xx

Gorgeously coloured damselfly

[Dianne]

Oh that's not fair to have your car off the road. Take care and look for the positives of all the wonderful nature around you.

[Rob Z]

It is positively beautiful - and a wonderful image to help keep your spirits up. A car can be mended or replaced - maybe let your wonderful boys look after all those negative details while you concentrate on all that is good in your life.. XX

Gorgeous insect. 🙏🏻for full recovery from the car accident. May you feel peace, calmness and focus on a positive future.

[Casablanca]

@robz Nice thought, but no, they can't. Just the way circumstances and work is right now. Just got to handle it myself.

[Maggiemae]

Lots of nice and thoughtful comments here as above! Keep your head up - make that spirits up!
Incredible insect photo - you know your insects! fav

You are due some happy times. Your photos make me happy in the morning

[Susan Wakely]

A beautiful capture. Oh no what a time you are having. Think positive thoughts and try and look past the inconvenience and frustration.

[Zilli]

Wow, so clear, lovely colors! All the best.

[Barb]

This is an incredibly beautiful photo, Casa! Wise choice not to immortalize that accident with photo of the car damage. Praying that joy will return to your heart as time puts distance between you and the trauma of the accident! Xxoo

[Peter Dulis]

[mittens (Marilyn)]

Great capture. Hang in there, Casablanca. I hope everything will improve for you.

[Oli Lindenskov]

[Fisher Family]

A beautiful shot, and a stark contrast with your encounter with the truck. These events are upsetting and disturbing. I hope you quickly get your life back on an even keel.
