Cooler and lovely

Clouds are slowly drifting Southeast.  A bumblebee pollinated the morning glories.  A nuthatch and a titmouse joined the usual three at the seed feeder.  The hummer feeder is clean and fresh.  A jay flew loudly across the yard.  A hummer rejected the feeder and tried the peavine. 

It is a lovely day.  Now the clouds are moving Northeast and dissipating as they pass over.   A tiger swallowtail feasted on the lantana out front. 

Skinks were out, including one I rescued alive from the pool.  They can swim!  Blue jays swarmed raucously in the oak.  Wrens have been lurking.  A pair of swallows were fussing and flew right over our heads.  A gulf fritillary landed on an azalea, then a painted lady on a dogwood.  A sizable jumping spider scurried out from under the rosemary.
