The creek was a sheet of glass and every surface glittered in the sunlight. Three blue jays visited and one perched conspicuously on the post while another sneaked to the bark butter balls. I don't think they planned it, but they are smart.
Other birds kept flying off just as I got them in focus. The brown thrasher had a tough time reaching the remnant of suet. Bluebirds were active and curious. When the suet was all gone, a male downy hung under the suet cage hoping to find a scrap. The wretched starlings made it disappear so fast that I'm of two minds whether to put another out right away.
An American lady butterfly nectared on a dandelion but furniture was in the way and I couldn't get it in focus. A little spider ran in circles around the rim of a tomato cage. Huge carpenter bees fed on the money plant. The lake turtles spread out from their favorite log to occupy all the fallen trees. We had a thunderstorm at dusk but later the full moon was visible.
