Overcast and breezy

Some sun is leaking through sideways.  Yesterday I had very little chance to observe. The seed feeder was empty so no wonder it was quiet.  Refilled now, just waiting till they notice.  The clouds are getting darker.

Actually, the sky is oscillating between threatening and partly cloudy with some sun getting through.  Butterflies are out in force - swallowtails, sulphurs, fritillaries, and smaller ones.  A few dragonflies are around but it may be too breezy for them.  The butterflies are staying low.  Today is National Honey Bee Day so where are they?   The rosemary is hosting giant orange bumblebees and tiny hover flies, everything but honeybees.  Did they party too much?

A pair of cardinals look quite moult-y.  Egrets have been working the creek.  Over all, the day has been quite pleasant. BTW, I am waiting for my computer to come back from the shop, with its photo editing software, and then I'll load the pictures I've been taking.
