My New Friend - the Damselfly
Uploaded: July 06, 2016 | Entered: July 06, 2016 20:19:46
I spent a good half hour with this little blue fronted dancer (I think) damselfly. He was playing in the tall weeds near the Schuylkill river in Valley Forge National Park. He kept flying off to catch a new bug and would come right back to his perch near me, eat the bug while staring at me and then fly off and catch another. Finally he landed on my knee (covered by my black tick pants) and just looked up and gave me the once over. I was sitting on the ground cross legged using my knees and elbows as a tripod.) We just stared at each other for a while until I had to go.

BetterPhoto Websites: If you see an orange website link directly under the photographer's name, it's totally okay. It's not spam. The reason: BetterPhoto is the one that offers these personal photography websites. We are supporting our clients with those links.
Unavailable EXIF: If there is no other information but 'Unavailable' in the EXIF (meaning no EXIF data exists with the photo), the 'Unavailable' blurb is not displayed. If there is any info, it shows. Many photos have the EXIF stripped out when people modify the image and resave it, before uploading.
