Today was another Sunday Lunch Ride with Steve and a bunch of happy cyclists as we rode from Gold Hill out to the lovely little town of Rogue River! It's a favorite ride, and this is our third time going this way. Lunch was at a wonderful little cafe, and I was delighted when I found this damselfly sitting on one of our chairs! Everyone was careful to not disturb us while I took pictures of my little friend, and I ended up getting a bunch of keepers! This one is my favorite, what a cool little guy! :D (you can see a side view by rolling your mouse over the upper left corner of this image)

Great macro, if your damselflies are at all like ours, you were fortunate it stayed still for the camera.
