Calm before storm?

Morning was cloudy and fairly pleasant.  A Carolina wren and a hummer came for breakfast.

A female blue dasher perched by the fence.  An amberwing lurked by the rue and a skimmer on a lavender stalk.  I couldn't identify the dragonfly at the top of the cherry.

A cicada landed on the patio.  I tried to deposit it on a dogwood branch but it flew off and landed back on the patio.

A buckeye found the mint.  A black swallowtail vacillated between the rue and the parsley. Both digger wasps, blue and golden, were busy on the mountain mint. 

A tropical storm warning was issued for Isaias with a predicted landfall in the Carolinas tomorrow night.  But midnight was calm with a bright round moon and Jupiter visible.
