Afternoon thunderstorm

A titmouse sampled the bark butter while a hummer breakfasted on sugar water.  I saw a black swallowtail and a blue dasher. Two orange furred carpenter bees visited the mountain mint.  I saw a lovely silver spotted skipper, but it got away.  A sprinkle began after lunch as I harvested more figs and by 2:30pm thunder was cracking overhead and rain was coming down like a waterfall. Rain fell more or less heavily for the rest of the day and toward evening lightning was almost continuous.  Thunder growled like a hungry belly.
