Passing clouds

Another beautiful day.  Small butterflies have come and gone too quickly for identification.  A hummer visited.  A hawk with a long tail circled overhead and a great blue heron glided over headed downstream.  Blue jays have taken an interest in acorns.  The 12-spotted skimmer was on patrol again.

At lunch, a skink skedaddled.  The black swallowtail and the slaty skimmer were back and a tiger swallowtail flitted through the trees.  A passing boat flushed a little green heron.  A small weeping conk fungus is emerging from the oak stump.  Two Carolina wrens called to each other.  A male goldfinch preened high up in the oak. And a mockingbird looked ragged atop the redwood.
