Berries

A sparrow had a morning shower while chickadees and cardinals ate overhead.  Later a mockingbird came to eat beauty berries.  It is warm and sunny with a light SE breeze and some high haze.

A blue tailed skink crossed the steps and then the patio, moving a bit slower than they do on hotter days.  Despite the prediction, clouds moved in and the afternoon was cooler than I'd hoped.  The water is down to 70.  Spiders were rafting and a cricket attempted to climb me.

Another katydid perched on the pea vine.  A yellow-green spider was working on its threads and suddenly disappeared - I suspect the katydid.

I stepped outside at just the right moment to catch a spectacular sunset!
