Lovely image, Jill. What a great catch. The golden color is stunning, and really shows of the skimmer's delicate wings. Must have been an exciting experience photographing it. lf

Thank you so much Lina!. I was really happy since I hadn't managed to get one of those staying still long enough to get a photo. And I know it's a weed but those Matchweeds have beautiful color...
