We have a small pond near our home that has water lilies. Normally when I go to take photos of them the light is very harsh and by the time the light softens later in the day the lilies have closed. Today, because there is so much smoke in the air, the light was much more diffused. The damselflies love to perch on the lilies.

Through My Lens 
I do love waterlilies! Beautiful pics!! (I had to laugh at myself – I read ‘dam selfies’ instead of damsel flies’!) 😀
🙂 I do think the damselflies like to be photographed. They’re everywhere.
you have the heart of a photographer!
