Afternoon thunderstorm

All I had at hand at breakfast was the snapshot camera, so naturally all the birds came to visit.   A female goldfinch wanted her turn at the sunflower seeds.  The adult male towhee also wanted seeds.  Maybe it was teaching Junior.  A downy woodpecker stopped by for a bite of suet. 

Today followed the typical summer weather pattern which was a nice return to predictability.  Because I expected an afternoon storm, I swam in the morning.  This was fortunate for a skink I found swimming tiredly.  It took a while to recover. 

A yellow daylily bloomed again.  The small brown mantis continued to haunt the rosebush.  The juvenile towhee discovered the seed feeder.  A titmouse wanted seeds too.  A pristine hummingbird enjoyed the sugar water.
