West wind

Cumulus clouds are moving East on the wind and higher cirrus clouds don't seem to move but have changed the next time I notice.  It is sunny and much warmer.  Two black swallowtails flitted around the herbs.  The caterpillars have eaten the very stalks of the parsley.  I wonder what became of the smaller caterpillars that were on the same plant? 

I rescued a rafting spider and a green frog.  A skink drowned before I got to it.  The regulars have been busy at the feeder, but no other species.  A hummer came to the window to protest the state of its feeder.  Five geese came overhead in formation, low and loud.

The clouds got thick and dark in the middle of the afternoon but then they cleared leaving a haze.  A young praying mantis came for a visit.  A tiger swallowtail and some dragonflies flitted through.

A pink camellia bloomed today.  Sunset was rosy.
