White sky

A thin layer of cloud crept North during the morning, though the sunshine was only a little muted.  Not much went on during breakfast.  Then the cat showed itself.  About twenty minutes later a wren ventured out to the mealworms.  The creek was a funhouse mirror.  Bees feasted on the rosemary.

In the late morning gulls got interested in the creek. A great black backed gull landed in the water.  A male bluebird perched in the pecan to keep the birdhouse under observation.  A downy woodpecker also landed in the pecan.  More bees fed on the blueberry pollen.  The wren was back for more mealworms and I got a glimpse of a nuthatch on the suet.

Of course there were buffleheads. Turtles basked on their favorite log on the lake.  And the wood duck pair paddled past our shoreline again.  A tiger swallowtail flew purposefully across the yard.
