And warm again

The weather has been yo-yoing as the wind shifts around the compass.  The tide got quite low at mid day and the temperature quite high. A thin smear of cloud kept the sun from burning and high winds also prevented me from feeling hot even though I was staffing a voter registration table in the middle of a field.  Gulls and crows circled hoping for wasted food.  The laughing gulls had their black head feathers on for summer. At home, turtles and cormorants basked on the lake logs.  Azaleas were just beginning to bloom.
