Dragonfly Hatch 2013

This year we had several days of dragonfly hatch. It all seems a bit late, probably due to the long, cool spring. We had one good day of hatching while Wally and Sheryl were here, and another during Felicia's visit.

In past years I've made videos and taken dozens of photos of the hatching dragonflies, but this year I took pictures of the empty nymph shells.

This one shows several empty shells still clinging to the side of the dock.

The next two are closeup shots of the empty shells. They really look spooky this way but the dragonflies are lovely and a good omen.

At least that's my opinion.
