Cold wind blowing

A front moved through and carried summer away.  But it left sunshine behind.  The glow on the trees and water at dawn was lovely.  Chickadees were hungry.

The wind out of the Northeast has pushed heavy clouds in and the sun only comes in flickers now.  Cardinals and a Carolina wren came for brunch. Crows, cormorants and buzzards are flying high. 

And now it's blue again with cardinals calling. An orange sulphur looked for something among the patio plants.  One little skink scuttled with a pale tail.  A finch perched in the rosemary - I think it was catching bugs!  A couple of others got greedy and tipped the feeder shut.

In the evening, a couple of raccoons hustled past.  The moon is just past first quarter.
