Well they are very good Bill - love #2 with that colour. I think you have done extremely well to get those shots - something I have never tried.

When shooting my common darters yesterday there were azure damselflies at the same place and I thought it'd be cool if I could catch one or two in flight as I'd never seen it done before with damselflies. Heck, I couldn't even find them in the viewfinder yet alone snap them as you have to be almost smack in focus for them to show up at all. So I take my hat off to you for getting these as they are incredibly difficult to capture.
