There were showers in the early morning. A gladiolus bloom popped out of the green. The hummer made regular visits. One osprey chased another that had encroached on a prime perch in the neighbor's pine. By lunch the clouds were broken and streaming into the Northeast. I caught the blue jay close up.
I glimpsed some butterflies including a tiger swallowtail, a cabbage white, and something orange, but only one dragonfly and it was being harassed by a wasp. Little black bees with pollen saddlebags were back at the lavender. A black and metallic green paper wasp slurped up wood from the step wall. The bronze and yellow Polistes just drank rue nectar. I found a venusta orchard spider next to the gutter drainpipe.
A skink appeared near my foot and froze so I got some pictures. Only two turtles were visible today.
