Cet insecte, un peu papillon, un peu libellule, a été une découverte pour moi en cette année où j'ai débuté la photo. Pas facile à photographier, chaque cliché est un défi mais passer du temps à les observer, à déclencher est un vrai bonheur...

This insect, a bit butterfly, a bit dragonfly, was a discovery for me this year when I started photography. It's not easy to photograph, each shot is a challenge, but spending time observing them, taking the shots is a real joy...
