I saw a lot more than the camera did. A blue jay got bark butter balls for breakfast. There was a heron on the dock next door but the camera was at the other end of the house. When I cleaned the skimmer, and anglewing katydid hopped out. I tried to get it to step onto my finger but instead it flew away. There was a dead frog in the deep end and the wind brought traces of the previously deceased. A black and a tiger swallowtail flew by. A few cicadas were still singing along with blue jays. Crows were everywhere.
A hummer perched overhead in the cherry. A skink imitated the Loch Ness monster as it humped along the seam in the concrete. Titmice came for seeds. I couldn't find the argiope I glimpsed in the spartina but the one guarding the rue was handing quietly behind the zigzag. Periwinkles were high and dry on the spartina which was in bloom. A very successful mother cobweb spider in the window frame guarded four egg sacks, one of which was hatching.
