Gray and dripping

There are blossoms on the magnolias.  The early buds look a bit like candles.  A dove, cardinal and chickadees were up for breakfast.  And, it's raining again and very humid.

The sun came out for lunch and a skink emerged.  After it went back under the rosemary, suddenly two appeared and dived down the steps. Territorial dispute?

Returning clouds cover the sky, thunder, and now the deluge about 5pm.  At dusk, when the rain had tapered off a hummer appeared.  The light was too low for details.  After dark, I saw another firefly.
