The beauty of nature.
With help of some friends this damselfy is identified as a Nehalennia speciosa - Pygmy Damselfly or a Chalcolestes viridis.
The forces of nature slowly eroding the stunning Algarve Coast away.

Peaceful Bokeh Wednesday
“Nature’s Goddess”
The lace like feathers of the Great Heron during breeding season is one of Mother Nature’s most dramatic scenes in the avian world.
This magnificent flambé had the courtesy to come and forage on our lavenders last week, in fact they were 2 but the other one had lost one of its tails, this one is intact for the moment, I hope they will come again.
With a maximum wingspan of 8 cm, the flambé is a cream-colored butterfly with large black stripes. Its tails are black and the tips of its hind wings have blue lunules and red spots. It lives in plains and orchards up to 2000 m between May and August.
Thanks a lot dear friends for your visits, kind comments, awards, invites, and faves.
Wish you all a nice week❤️
From the old stack, I picked up this picture made during our road trip in the US. The national parks are amazing. This one is made at Grand Teton.

Pasque flowers merrily in the sun, sprouting amid fallen branches and withered leaves after the winter.../Vår i naturen, backsippan tittar fram i solen, bland kvistar och vissna löv efter vintern.../Primavera en la naturaleza, pulsatilia asomando al sol, entre las ramas caídas y las hojas secas del invierno...(DSC_4350-4)

A walk along the oceans shore. The late afternoon world is full of colors, mostly shades of red and gold. The ocean is loud,intense and the power is unmistakable. The wildlife hunts and gains power from the sounds and sights. It is entertainment only nature can provide.`125
