Hot and windy

Rambunctious titmice scared off a hummer and a wren.  A very persistent squirrel was determined to get into the feeder.  A blue jay wanted mealworms.  The digger wasp was back and so was the buckeye butterfly. 

A humongous roach was floating in the water, dead fortunately.  It looked like one f those strange creatures from the Burgess Shale.  A spider built a web across a corner of the pool.  I rescued a mama spider and a few of her minute offspring that jumped ship.  

Dragonflies held their own despite the wind.  The herbs - rue, mint, parsley, rosemary - attracted a host of bees wasps, flies, and other insects.  I saw a sharpshooter land on a morning glory leaf. 

A male towhee flew across the yard and then popped out from under the azaleas.
