Off and on rain

The pool was full of pine needles after yesterday's storm.  The argiope survived the storm but its web was a mess.  It was the dark of the moon and the tide rose over the dock at 9:30am.  I saw milkweed bugs on the butterfly weed for the first time. 

When we got home for lunch, a wet brown thrasher was sitting on the feeder.  It flew just as it came into focus.  And then the rain returned.  A snowy egret fished at the dam outfall and a great egret stood on the dock.  Camellia buds were getting fat.  During a brief time of sun around 2:30pm, a skink left its blue tail outside the leaves it was hiding under.
