White sky

It was well below the dew point when I got up and all the windows were fogged even though it was no cooler in than out.  The sky was hazy but the sun was strong.  By mid afternoon the haze had thickened into overall white, though the sun still shone.  A native morning glory made a blue accent to the hibiscus red.

Snout butterflies danced and perched.  All three swallowtails and a cloudless sulphur made the rounds.  There was much to-ing and fro-ing of unidentified birds, but I think one was a titmouse and another a wren.  The hummers continued to compete.  A grackle scouted around the dock. 

Two skinks, one adult and one blue tailed, stared at each other for a while.  A common whitetail female took a station on the fake rock.  Goldfinches competed with house finches on the feeder.

On my way down the interstate in the late afternoon, the veil of stratus clouds in front of the sun produced sun dogs - bits of rainbow offset  22°.
