Chilly over night

Lots of clouds are sailing through, and each drops the temperature and raises the wind.  I was out earlier and stopped at the local park on the way home. There I annoyed the geese and saw a couple of distant egrets.  The water was dancing with whirligig beetles and water striders, and minnows breaking the surface to catch them. Two male pond hawk dragonflies fussed over the best perch. 

I found a mess of tangled fishing line someone could not bother to throw away.  When I went to put my hand on a fence post I found it occupied by a ferocious-looking jumping spider with glowing green fangs.
