Blue sky

Fluffy cumulus decorated an intense blue, occasionally giving relief from the sun.  I rescued a couple of spiders and saw a very delicate crab spider that needed no help.  A glass snail was all tucked in on the edge of the pool.  A cicada was floating but something had eaten most of it.  A couple of cast leaf-footed exoskeletons also floated, as did many acorns  A skink with a very short tail dashed away from me.  A blue-fronted dancer damsel fly rested in the sun.  Bumblebees and yellow jackets were hungry.

I only saw the regulars on the feeder.  The mushroom under the oak has grown. A sizable spider moved into the space outside the kitchen window, probably to take advantage of the light inside attracting bugs.
