Split screen

Morning was sunny, hot and humid, followed by afternoon rain.  And the sky for the last several days has had a split personality with a sunny blue sky on one side and a brooding, wrathful mass of thunderheads on the opposite side. The change was abrupt from one to the other.

A juvenile night heron crabbed in the high tide that inundated our lawn.  I spotted an orb web in the wooded patch.  Milkweed bugs mated on a seed pod.  A black swallowtail looked for vegetation to egg.  A paper wasp hunted caterpillars.  A blue jay up in the oak ignored me.  An egret and a cormorant rested o the snag in the lake. 

On the way home from an evening meeting, we waited for a small rabbit that was crossing the church driveway.
