I do so wish I could post pics on my blog.
We are surrounded by many, many what I think are Beautiful Demoiselle.
They are a wonderful shade of dark blue, I can not take a decent photo of them as they fly past so fast.
There must be 20 or so flying to and fro past the boat.

How lovely! I really need to be able to look at a pond. More planning. They dont visit upturned lids with water in.....
Is there a problem with you posting photos now?
I use a kindle fire and it has a fit of the vapours if I try to post pics.
I post my photos using 'tinypic' - it's free and very easy to use.

, , , and of course, that didn't work!!! But the photo would have appeared on your blog, I promise.
They are elusive little buggers to photograph, I've tried many times. Wareham Forest has a lake at it's centre, now privately owned, sadly, and no longer accessible to the public. There is an area there where they seem to congregate, probably for mating, literally swarms of them, like flying jewels.
Is there no longer a campsite there? I stayed in my tent one winter (mad, but wonderful) and enjoyed going into the forest early mornings to follow the tracks of deer, badgers, foxes and various other creatures. I don't recall a lake, so maybe that was separate to the campsite?
Hi Could you explain with demoiselles are? Never heard of this before. Thanks ARlene from US
I don't know of a campsite round here Rambler.
Arlene, they are a sort of dragonflies, not very big but beautiful shades of blue.
