A skink basked by the birdbath. I spied a very tiny caterpillar on a milkweed pod. The argiope switched sides on the web. The sky was that intense blue that borders on ultraviolet. Cumulus popped up in the South but went nowhere.
I spent a long time in the pool. There were four live frogs and a very dead one in the skimmer. Also a big green June beetle with its wings out. And I saved two swimming skinks. one of which fell in right in front of me. But the real treat was a cicada killer that somehow landed on its back in the deep end. I gave it the far end of a stick to grab and swam for the camera.
I also saw a mockingbird on the ground foraging under the oak. But I was in the deep end and I figured that if I went for the camera the bird would leave. After I got out, a hummer perched right overhead. And that's when the camera battery died. It was on the same perch that I had photographed and accidentally deleted the other day. I saw butterflies but hardly any dragonflies. At least four blue jays sassed me and stole bark butter balls.
