Afternoon rain

There was hot sun in the morning but not a lot of wildlife.  I glimpsed a night heron through a screen of vegetation.  A jay called.  Dragonflies and butterflies were around but not plentiful.  There were hummingbirds, of course.  A crane fly rested on the screen.  I rescued beetles and a mama wolf spider. 

Clouds built up in the afternoon and the rain hit around 4pm.  An egret preened on the dock while the rain fell.  The rain was a mix of fine droplets and large drops that made splashes.  The argiope hung in her web over the marsh ignoring the rain.
