Vibrant Boi - _TNY_4303

My son, Daniel, accompanied me on my first visit to the Mjällådalen nature reserve, not very far from the town of Härnösand.

 

While the weather was a bit on the cold side and the mosquitoes were abundant, it still turned out to be a great afternoon.

 

At one point, while we were navingating through the undergrowth from the path and out to the river, we scared up a couple of male blue demoiselles (Calopteryx virgo) and with a little sneaking, I managed this shot with the 100 mm when one of them had landed somewhat nearby.

 

I showed the processed shot to Daniel (who is fourteen) and his reaction was "Ooooh, vibrant boi!" so that is how I think of it now.
