"Partly cloudy"

So where is the part that's not cloudy?  Is it a different time or place?  Anyway, we had rain sprinkles about 8:30am and overcast.  The usual suspects visited the feeder. A variety of bees are busy on the rosemary.  An egret is prospecting along the bulkhead on the far side of the creek.

Clouds are heavy but moving right along.  A tiger swallowtail and some other butterflies are hanging around.  The only dragonfly I see is an amberwing.  I caught a bird emerging from the birdhouse, so it is not a mouse.  I'm pretty sure it's a wren. 

The insects were quiet at midday, but they are buzzing lustily at twilight.  A homeward bound egret was a dark white against the cloud bands.  As evening falls, the bumble bees are the last on the rosemary.
