Cloudless day

Placid water reflecting warm fall colors at sunrise reminded me that the equinox is close.

A monarch butterfly escaped the camera, but I caught a tattered red spotted purple.  I didn't bother to try for a black swallowtail.  A duskywing skipper fed on the portulaca.  One blue dasher perched in the dogwood.  Skinks soaked up sunshine.

I fished a drowned Argiope out of the water but is wasn't "my" Argiope.  I also rescued two live frogs, a couple of beetles and a lot of crickets.  Three egrets followed each other up and down the creek.  Blue jays made a lot of noise but stayed invisible.

At twilight the tide was up in the grass.  A night heron appeared when it was really too dark for the camera.
