Beautiful Sunday

Blue sky and the usual suspects: cardinals, finches, chickadees, wrens and sparrows. Midmorning a titmouse showed up and somewhat later a tiger swallowtail.  At lunch one squirrel entertained us by sprawling on the concrete, getting up on the furniture, and generally keeping an eye on us. 

The birds emptied the feeder again.  K refilled it and I refilled the hummer feeder and the birdbath.  Some of the seed spilled on the patio and the squirrels were very suspicious of their good luck.  The afternoon grew warm enough to bring out skinks.  One went up the bedroom wall, down the window, and under the flashing at the bottom. Lots of wasps hunted for a good nesting spot while bees fed on the rosemary.

Toward sunset the sky clouded over.
