A Difficult Thing

I love trying to learn difficult things.

Like photographing damselflies.

Difficult doesn't begin to express how hard it is to photograph tiny damselflies without a serious DSLR and macro lens.

Today, I succeeded, not once but several times with two different damselflies: the Citrine Forktail and the Slender Bluet.

Imagine something smaller than straight pin hanging onto a leaf or flower or stem in gusty wind and semi-darkness and me, chigger-bitten and itchy, hunkered down in sand or mud, and . . . well . . . you get the picture (pun intended).

A little success just fuels my desire to keep trying.  As Scarlett O'Hara said, "Tomorrow is another day."
