Allegany Nature Pilgrimage 2008
Springtime Darner Closeup
This year marked our third pilgrimage and my first as a leader. The weather was great most of the time, even if everything in nature seemed a week behind. Last yeas was definitely better in terms of odes, but I still managed to see some great things. The first walk I did was on Saturday at 2:30. The sun was shining, but I hadn’t seen many dragonflies. As I stopped at the shore to drop off my nets, I found a Springtime Darner emerging. What a great way to start off the talk! I also had a few celebrity bloggers in attendance: Jennifer from A Passion for Nature and Toni from A Spattering. There was a lot of great questions from all age levels.

The second walk was at 10:30 am Sunday, and once again I had an emerging dragonfly. This time it was three Common Baskettails. I also had about double the number of participants, and three times as many questions! I also had another blogger in the audience, Mary from Mary McAndrew’s Nature Sketching and Painting. I took this last picture about two hours before my walk, but it was too cool not to include in this post!

So glad you had these guys coming out during your walk! I wish I could have joined you but no way could I have captured such beautiful photos as you did!
