This Morning Outside

Multitudes of damselflies and dragonflies went down into the mouths of the baby phoebes in their nest outside my kitchen window. Maybe they ate this Violet Dancer. I think it's the loveliest damselfly I've ever seen, with its plums-and-blueberries colors.

And here one of the babies is swallowing one.
