More humidity

The sun is shining but I can't see out through the condensation on the windows.  The dew point must be well above room temperature.   The rains and humidity have destroyed our fig crop.  I guess that's fair considering the magnificent blueberry season this summer. 

Finally, the hot sun and the breeze dry us out.  A dragonfly in the sun was obelisking, i.e. doing a handstand.  The beauty berries are beginning to blush, as are the dogwood berries. Lots of skinks are scampering around both upper and lower patios. A gulf fritillary feasted on the lantana out front. 

Mushrooms are popping through the mulch everywhere.  In addition to the classic toadstools, here are Xylaria looking like branching coral. One odd-looking mushroom turned out to be a discarded eggshell, probably from a dove.  A Horace's duskywing was basking on the sakaki.  Then clouds boiled up out of the North and swept East bringing thunder.
