The day was hot and humid with intermittent drizzle and occasional flickers of sun until mid afternoon, then the torrent struck. Fierce gusts of wind accompanied the downpour. Afterward, there was some sunlight but the air dripped with moisture. The warmth brought pollinators to the camellia. I saw a bumblebee and a paper wasp. A rosebud started.
At lunch time, a dove looked around under the feeder. Then a coopers hawk shot across the yard and caught a songbird with a yellow breast. Everything was very quiet for some time afterward. A squirrel watched the whole thing then made a very cautious departure.
