Nature: Forever Surprising
When you can't quite see the details of what you're photographing.
I spotted this male large red damselfly on the other side of our pond, but thanks to a lot of heather filling the space between the back of the pond and next-door's fence I couldn't get very close. So, leaning precariously over the pond, keeping my finger on the focus button and trying to keep a view of the tiny thing from a distance, I pressed the button for a burst of shots. Imagine my surprise when I saw the photos and that it was (apparently) mimicking my movements. I've taken hundreds of shots of these damselflies and and have never seen such behaviour. It seems incredible. I leave you the viewer to decide (and no, I've done nothing in photoshop).
