Jewel on Moss - _TNY_3373
Today (July 23rd of 2025) was probably my best day (so far) of shooting beautiful demoiselles (Calopteryx virgo).
This was along the Stenbäcken creek running through part of the Tyresta National Park in Sweden, and there were so many lovely opportunities once I figured out how to get them.
It turns out, the male demoiselles (like this one) like to perch in sunny spots on stuff overhanging the water so I just sat down pretty close to a sunny spot on a moss-covered log and stayed still and eventually, one of them came up and landed in the sunny spot.
