Dark morning

Rain was not predicted, but the sky is very dark to the North.  That's the direction taken by a large flock of geese that passed noisily overhead.  A hummer popped up to watch.  Meanwhile a squirrel followed another around the patio and up on a chair.  Very romantic, he appeared to have his eyes half closed. It's raining now at 8am.

By 10 the rain was down to drips but everything is wet.  The argiope had a moth for breakfast.  A hummer sat in the rain to keep an eye on the feeder.  A Carolina wren and a cardinal found the tipping point of the feeder perch. Wet squirrels have been nosing through the mulch. 

And still it rains at 1pm.  The male cardinal is not deterred.  And a hummer visited the feeder even though you'd think the rain would knock it right out of the air.
