Delicate Wings

Dragonflies, damselflies and butterflies have always fascinated me with their elegance and colour. Dragonflies are ancient, powerful flyers — true acrobats of the insect world — while butterflies seem to dance lightly among the flowers. I enjoy photographing these delicate creatures in natural light, often surrounded by blooms.
