Exquisite Spring day

The sky was so blue that jets dared not leave tracks.  One small, ragged cumulus cloud trailed veils of vapor, uncertain whether to condense or dissipate.  The wind's chill balanced the sun's warmth, luring me to go to sleep after lunch.  But physical therapy on the schedule made that impossible.

Bees were out, along with smaller fliers.  Some were either ants or termites looking for mates.  K caught an aphid with a tiny emerald body.  A pair of robins called to each other and finally flew out of the quad.  We found the dove nest and apparently there's at least one nestling.  I saw its beak poke up at its parent.  The other parent was taking a rest on a bench back in the sun.  

We came back out in the evening.  Two grackles chased a crow with a beak full of something orange.  The robins were back.  Gulls streamed by overhead.   One might have been an osprey.  Then the sun dropped below the roof and the air quickly chilled and we came in.
