Beautiful day

The cumulus are coming from the East but the higher clouds are moving slowly South. Just the regulars at the feeder, but a mockingbird visited the beautyberry and a dogwood.

A red spotted purple has been all over the yard but returned frequently to the cherry.  A cloudless sulphur and a dark orange butterfly (monarch?) hustled through toward the creek.  A honeybee and a thread waisted wasp visited the rosemary.  Something circled high up - osprey or eagle. 

The clouds disappeared in the afternoon.  An egret prowled the creek.
