Here there be dragonflies

A hummingbird visited its feeder and a female bluebird had a few mealworms.  The regulars, including titmice, ate seeds and the short tailed squirrel tried to get into the feeder.  Blue dashers obelisked in the sun.  One stayed all afternoon on the wire hook that we use to close the seed feeder.  It seemed not to notice us no matter how close we got.  A common whitetail female landed on light colored objects, often in the shade. I saw a Japanese beetle on the hibiscus.

In the afternoon the sky grew white and clouds looked threatening, but nothing came of it,  The day stayed hot and humid and the clouds blew out to sea.
