Clouds from the East

It seems like the wind has been out of the West for weeks.  Hummer(s?) and finches, squirrels and chickadees.

A black swallowtail developed an obsession with the red cedar but I'm sure that is not suitable for caterpillars.A skink came by.  An osprey soared over.  A murder of crows hung around making rude comments.  The hummer visited frequently.  It has streaks and spots on the sides of its tummy.

The morning's cream puff clouds turned into a menacing overcast in the afternoon.   Some other butterflies and dragonflies came around and the skimmer was full of June beetles.  The overcast brought the cricket chorus on early.  One squirrel has gotten pretty accustomed to me sitting outside.  And the finches ignore me mostly. 

At dusk, th rain finally began.  Lightning is still flashing in the East after midnight.
