From Steve Gettle

"Bedazzled" - Ebony Jewelwing Damselfly - I just Love mornings when we get a heavy dew like this. This Damselfly is beautiful of course but the real star of this show is the heavy dew!

When it is below about 60 degrees insects are in a state of torpor and cannot move well. But this guy still manages to move one leg enough to wipe the dew from its eye so it can keep that eye on me.

Good Luck and Good Light! Steve
