As I ate breakfast outside, I noticed a slug on a leaf that had come to
the point and was figuring out how to turn back. A hummer joined me
for breakfast.
The air seemed very damp and toward evening there were showers. A frog was in the skimmer. It leapt into the pool but eventually I caught it and told it to leave. I don't mind swimming with frogs but the water seems to poison them. I rescued a green June beetle and a metallic green tiger beetle.
And after I got out, I found a monarch caterpillar climbing a
bamboo stake and persuaded it to relocate to the butterfly weed. A
green pondhawk perched on the feeder handle by my window.
While I was on the phone in the afternoon,all sorts of things flew by. I saw a cicada killer, butterflies, and dragonflies. A flock of robins landed in the cherry tree. A
Carolina wren thoroughly inspected the redwood trunk. Chicadees and
cardinals hunted in the saltbush while house finches poked through the
cherry.
