Ode-vent Day 24

Although I didn't get to go back to the Amazon this year, I originally had the idea of an online advent calendar to showcase some of the pictures I'd taken there each summer.  For the final day, I thus have a small selection of just some of the odonata I have photographed in the rainforest over the years, starting with one of the helicopter damselflies.  These are extremely large, long-bodied damselflies which rotate their way slowly through the understory and never fail to impress the guests, no matter what they are interested in.  Happy holidays!
