Hempstead Lake State Park Long Island today.
Those are vacated cicada shells under the blue damsel fly! The other dragonfly is a yellow winded darter.
The egret is always good Feng Shui and the pedal powered swans were quite friendly. ;-)

Love those photos!!
(I think that dragonfly would have to be an Eastern Amberwing if you're in Long Island (NY), though? Yellow-winged Darter is a British species - they call what we call Meadowhawks "Darters")
