Still cool

But much sunnier, with red cardinals, finches, and roses. A hummer showed up around 10am.

After lunch, in an almost cloudless sky, the swallows were swooping and soaring.  A skink slithered out of sight under the rosemary and a tiger swallowtail fluttered through the trees.  A male towhee landed in front of me calling to his mate. 

As the sun was setting, a bank of clouds slid in from the West and covered the sky.
