Went out with the Tide

Downtown Norfolk was very smoky this morning but many dragonflies were enjoying the grass north of MacArthur Mall.

There are now two wasps contending over the feeder. But when the hummer showed up, they both chased the poor bird. Then, as it got toward evening the winning wasp seemed to ignore the hummer. We'll see if that continues. There is probably something deeply philosophical about all these critters claiming food which I am supplying for my own amusement.

Also this afternoon a lizard crossed the patio. It was bigger and lacked the blue tail I've seen before.
