Cool

It was actually cool outside when we got up.  It was so pleasant that I sat for a while on the front patio.  The morning warmed up but never got really hot. A Carolina wren perched on the post, but flew too soon. 

I saw a monarch and a black swallowtail and small yellow-brown butterflies.  A fiery skipper visited the portulaca but was harassed by wasps. A great blue skimmer occupied the perching stake.

A little green heron flew downstream.  A great and a snowy egret fished below the dam. The afternoon got quite windy as a sheet of cloud slid out of the South.Nevertheless, a skink ventured onto the patio right next to me.  

On the way home I saw the bright crescent moon looking very large as it dropped toward the horizon.
