While on holidays other then Wexford, we also decided to go for a trip down the road to Powerscourt Gardens, like Glendalough, Powerscourt is a place you cant tire of, the gardens are beautiful and the place is huge.

While in the Japanese part of the gardens I spotted a Damsel Fly sitting on the leave of a bamboo beside a little lake. I love the way these guys sit there with a big camera only an inch or 2 away and they are unfazed by it all.

    Lovely shot. I got my first damselfly shot in the same place. It’s a beautiful place to walk around with a camera.
