Sticky

Morning was very humid and the windows were fogged.  The temperature soon rose enough to dry them.  A few finches and chickadees showed up along with a black swallowtail.  A buzzard circled. Finally on the last weekend of vacation we are blessed with Tidewater summer. 

In the late afternoon with the crescent moon overhead, an egret fished.  Blue jays made noise but I didn't see them.  The sun caught spider threads on a bush down by the creek.  A dragonfly perched on a higher twig, to far away to identify.  A very tiny ant wobbled all over the patio with a dead moth that was also tiny, but much larger than the ant.  As I got up to leave, a monarch or viceroy flitted past too quickly for me to turn on the camera or to guess which kind of butterfly it was.
