Showers

Everything was wet and periodically more rain fell, but lightly.  A hungry hummer stuck to its feeder as the chickadees came and went for seeds.

The clouds flowed eastward as the wind dried things out.  There were flickers of sunshine and patches of blue sky.  Birds reappeared along with dragonflies and butterflies.  I saw for sure a cloudless sulphur and a saddlebags.  An amazing spider thread appeared across the mulch.  Skinks ventured out.

Wasps were delighted with all the mud.  A tattered hairstreak landed on the patio but flew off when I approached, only to be snatched out of the air by a dragonfly.  The showers continued to come and go all day and into the night.
