I was walking a trail along the Chattahoochee when I spotted a small but beautiful cataract. The light was great. Serendipity happened.

Photograph of a male Downy Woodpecker perched on a brown tree branch against a background of light and dark mottled taupe. The branch is angled from the middle of the left side of the picture to the middle of the bottom. There is another branch, with offshoots on the right side of the frame. The bird’s breast and tail feathers are white though the lower right portion of the breast and center portion of the tail feathers are shaded and appear dark. The tail feathers have black spots. Between the branch and the bird’s head and behind the breast is a black stripe with white spots; those are its wings. Its beak is black with a small brownish gold patch at the base of the beak. Its eye is black with a white glint. Around the beak, are a series triangular shaped stripes forming the head feathers. The front stripe is black. The next white with a red crest forming the bird’s red crest. The next is a black eye stripe that does not extend to the back. The next is a white stripe that extends to the back then curves upward behind the eye stripe. The next stripe is black that narrows as it extends back then widens into a black patch. Its chin is white. Its dark gray legs and black “nails are clasping the branch.

Damselflies

Image of a Female Ebony Jewelwing Damselfly perched on a bright green leaf against a background of black and surrounded by many more green leaves. The damselfly is positioned with its head near and facing the tip of the leaf. Its bulbous, black eye is most of what is visible from the head though the eye on the other side is also partially visible. Its dark gray legs protrude like sticks from the side of its body. As they extend outward, they make a sharp right-angled turn down to the leaf. Most of its body is obscured by the wings but the end of it protrudes from the back of the wing. Its wings are black, but they refract the light so highlight the wings in stripes of gold, green

When I saw the beauty of this female, the song “Isn’t She Lovely” popped into my head.

Image of a Male Ebony Jewelwing Damselfly perched on a bright green leaf against a background of black. The damselfly is positioned with its head near and edge of the leaf. Its bulbous, black eyes are visible on either side of its small, blue head. Its dark gray legs protrude like sticks from the side of its body. As they extend outward, they make a sharp right-angled turn down to the leaf. Its vivid blue body extends from the head and looks like a stick; it extends slightly past the end of the wings. Its wings are black but are refracting the vivid blue on the upper edges of the wings. The damselfly is casting its shadow on the leaf.
