Not so hot

Titmice were hungry for breakfast.  So was a hummer.  Then the blue jays came. 

A gloriously golden Needham's skimmer was perched on a bamboo stake at lunch time.  The twig atop the hackberry was unoccupied.  In the afternoon there were blue dashers everywhere.  A great golden digger wasp, a  carpenter bee, and a little leaf cutter bee worked on the mountain mint. 

I picked blueberries till the sweat ran.  This annoyed the birds.  What annoyed me was all the berries with just one peck.  I don't begrudge the birds eating whole berries, but why ruin so many?  A male bluebird visited the bark butter balls. 

The setting sun blushed the clouds and made a lovely reflection in the creek.
