豆娘組照(Damselfly Montage)

世界上最頑強的莫過於生命，看似脆弱的小精靈，卻有頑強的生命力。不管是藤蔓小憩、捕食或交配，牠們都很認真地對待。短小的身體很難讓人發現，鮮豔的外表卻很容易暴露自己。這個神奇的小精靈，小時候總認為牠是一種長不大的小蜻蜓，為了更深入的瞭，決定拍攝一組豆娘的圖像。想要認識牠，須從小憩狀態、交配狀態及捕食狀態開始。通過這組美麗的圖片，提醒人們愛護環境，保護尊重身邊的任何生命。

Although damselflies appear as fragile fairy-like creatures, they display toughness and vitality. Whether resting on a vine, foraging or mating, they complete their missions carefully. They would hardly be noticed except for their bright colors. When I was little, I thought they were tiny dragonflies. To understand them better, I took sets of images. The best way to know damselflies is to observe them resting, mating and feeding. These beautiful images should also remind people to value the environment and to protect and respect all forms of life.
