Passing clouds

A Carolina wren investigated the gnarly log I'm trying to plant.  The hummer feeder stayed busy once it was swapped for fresh.   I think at least one was a juvenile male.

At lunch, a very short blue tailed skink pretended to be invisible. An odd looking, smallish black swallowtail made the rounds of the herbs.  I got just one shot of a red spotted purple. 

The Argiope in the wild cherry captured something large.  Several large caterpillars consumed parsley. 

At times it looked like trouble was boiling up out of the Southwest, but the clouds passed over without rain.  They did chill the air when the sun was blocked.

Mockingbirds went for the beautyberries. Titmice stayed with seeds.  I heard lots of blue jays. 

The skimmer yielded a drowned skink and five frogs, one of which might survive. 

An impression on one window looks like a bird smacked into it, belly first.
