Beautiful day

The early sun tinted a mass of small puffy clouds with watercolors.  The creek is glassy though there is a breeze.  A Carolina wren began grill inspection early.  As soon as I was out of sight, birds congregated on the feeder. They included a couple of titmice.  A male hummer appeared for a pick-me-up.  I guess the females sleep in.  The beautyberry is starting to turn purple. 

The clouds disappeared but there's a nice breeze.  Skinks came out to enjoy it.  Green and brown bird grasshoppers are flying around.  So are all three kinds of swallowtail and other butterflies.  A few saddlebags were on the hunt.   

Around 5pm clouds came in from the West and by 7pm they were dramatic as the sun slowly dropped beneath like an egg and fired their edges.  Titmice returned in the late afternoon.
