Home at last

Traveling was a lot harder than it used to be.  Chicago was surprisingly chilly for summer.  But I got home about 4:30 and saw the regulars, a downy, and a titmouse at the seed feeder.  The short tailed squirrel foraged below and a skink waved its long blue tail before disappearing into the rosemary.

A female hummer got some juice and a blue jay snatched a mouthful of mealworms,  Other birds flitted around.  Herons and egrets fished below the dam.  At one point, a great blue heron and a yellow crowned night heron were side by side.  Cumulus clouds blocked the sun frequently but did not make weather.  After dark, a crescent moon descended in the West, trailed by a bright planet.
