Hazy early, then rain

The sunlight is muted.  The creek was glassy earlier, but now there's a breeze.  Where is everybody? Just chickadees and bumblebees.  Then finches and honeybees.  The morning glories are indeed glorious.  Did I see a hummer?

If so, it hasn't returned.  Rain started after 3:30 - earlier than I'd hoped.  Clouds boiled out of the West and the wind blew every which way.  A crow sat on the dock bench and proclaimed doom.  A dark butterfly fought the wind into tree shelter - not sure if it was a swallowtail or a purple.  The chickadees kept right on eating. 

A cold front is passing with dark clouds and a fiery sunset. There was a great photo in the newspaper.
