The creek was mirror smooth in the morning sun. High tide midday drove the periwinkles up the spartina. By mid afternoon, wind gusts made waves in the pool. Dramatic clouds gave way to haze but rain is supposed to start tomorrow. And then whatever is left of Hurricane Michael will arrive in the night.
Today I could not find either Argiope. The basilica spider's web looked fresh under the string-of-pearls eggs. Adult milkweed bugs were visible among the nymphs. I thought I saw a red spotted purple, but all i got was blurry leaves.
An egret perched on the dock bench to preen. A dove waddled around the patio. Crows set up a commotion and an alarmed female cardinal landed on the feeder. Birds flitted through the oak but I never got a decent shot.
