This week’s Sunday Stills challenge theme is ‘Ephemeral.’ See more responses here. Captions on the photos.

Great photos. It’s helps me understand ephemeral, but I’ll still have to look it up. The dragonfly is my favourite but the sprinklers are a close second.
Thanks Debbie. The dragonfly takes lots of trial and error, mostly error! Where I live, there are plenty of rainbows as there’s lots of rain and lots of sun.
The close-up of the dragonfly is amazing, Graham. The detail is incredible, especially in the wings. The rainbow over the water is also spectacular. I wonder if there was gold at either end of the rainbow that you’d have to dive for? I’m not sure I’d want to jump into the water from Coconut Island. As a non-swimmer, I prefer to stay on dry land.
I can’t resist dragonflies, but I take a lot of photos to get one like this! I love getting in the water here, but it’s a good deal warmer than in England!
Very cool captures Graham. I added a few rainbows to my post as well. It was a fun prompt.
