Comments on: Damselfly on Iris Landing Pad http://northernshade.ca/2008/07/01/damselfly-on-iris-landing-pad/ Gardening in a cold northern climate, as the trees grow, the garden is gradually transforming to a more shady woodland garden Wed, 01 Sep 2010 22:53:05 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: Northern Shade http://northernshade.ca/2008/07/01/damselfly-on-iris-landing-pad/#comment-365 Northern Shade Tue, 08 Jul 2008 05:07:14 +0000 http://northernshade.ca/?p=197#comment-365 Jen, thanks. I think it's resting up for the next big foray against the mosquitoes. The cold weather does have an upside. It kills off a lot of pests. Jen, thanks.

You too have some great foliage. I guess we are spoilt in White Rock with our climate. We only reach -15 during a really hard winter. But still some plants are lost each year.

I'd love to see more of these bug-eyed insects around the garden. I find the spreadsheet a very useful way to keep track of my plants. Once you set it up initially, it's easy to update as you get new plants. Kerri, thanks. I’d love to see more of these bug-eyed insects around the garden.

I was just chasing one the other day. I enjoyed seeing all your iris blooms too. The yellow and purple is especially lovely. Thanks for explaining the spreadsheet idea. That sounds handy. You're very good at organization...a great skill to possess. I'd like to be better at it. Such a beautiful photo! I was just chasing one the other day.

I think dragonflies and damselflies are beautiful, and that iris has managed to sneak into many of my photos recently. Shady Gardener, thanks.

With their multi-faceted eyes, I'm not sure if they see multi-faceted images or not.

It's so lightweight that it doesn't even bend the soft petal. Ms. S, with eyes like those, it would definitely be hard to sneak up on it.

It feels like the damsel is looking back at us with a smile saying, "pardon me, and who might you be?" Delightful. Stunning photograph.
