Quiet

There's some condensation on the windows and no apparent breeze.  The creek is still and pilings merge into their reflections.

By lunch, there was a light breeze.  Tattered black swallowtails were laying their last eggs.  Hummers were warring over food that was plentiful.  Skinks went about their business.

Cumulus clouds passed by making sunbeams and shadows but were mostly gone by late afternoon.  Two long tailed hawks, probably sharp shins, have the crows in an uproar.  Cormorants flap off to every point of the compass.  I rescued two wolf spiders that were carrying their babies on their backs, and got an infant in my hair as thanks.  The honeybee brought a sister to work on the rosemary.  A giant swallowtail floated across the yard just fast enough to evade the camera.  A fine fat black swallowtail caterpillar was hidden under the lavender.
