Sunshine

A male goldfinch briefly joined the feeder regulars.  A hummer paid a brief visit.

Skinks were everywhere, including one adult female I rescued from a watery grave.  I also rescued a cicada, but I think it may have been nearly dead when it fell in because it didn't do much more than kick a little.  There were more butterflies than I've seen all summer, and fewer dragonflies.  My pimento started two new peppers.

When I got home I went outside to see if there were any Perseid meteors to be seen.  Alas none, but there was a moonflower.
