Hot!

The South wind brought warm humid air and clouds.  But the sun got through frequently.  Maple trees showed color.  Apparently birds found new sources of food and didn't need the feeders.  I saw a wasp and other unidentified flying insects.

As I was taking a picture of the turtles on the lake, three ducks flew in.  I think they were shovelers.  The turtles were more cooperative subjects.  They looked like they had been posing for Dr. Seuss.  A pair of hoodies preferred the brackish creek.

After sunset, the moon was bigger and thus brighter, but less interesting than the crescent.

The newspaper Thursday said Wednesday set a new high temperature record - 79°F.
