Clouding up

The geese tried to stage a comeback but we headed them off.  The feeder is empty again though a hopeful chickadee keeps trying its luck.  A flock of blue jays screamed through.  Roses are blooming now and the azaleas are done.  The first of the yellow flag irises popped open today.  A pair of mating dragonflies zipped past. 

Lunch came with a skink and a black swallowtail.  It got hot again, then there was a brief downpour.  Late afternoon brought out the ospreys.  Cardinals, finches, chickadees, and wrens came to the feeder. The male towhee investigated the mulch before noticing how close I was.  All this time, towering cumulus threatened while the sun and sky were glazed with white.  Strange skies.
