I hurried outside after breakfast to catch the waning moon before it dropped behind the trees. I love the trees but they raise the effective horizon. The water was 72° but the air was ten degrees warmer and the sun was fierce. There was, however, wind which got stronger as the afternoon went on. But for such a beautiful day, I saw very little beyond the expected: Canada geese, mallards and crows. A sulphur flitted into the trees and I glimpsed a dragonfly while in the car. A few bees and wasps hung around the decapitated mountain mint. I kept catching glimpsed of a bird I think might be a red eyed vireo, but it was too shy to make a positive identification. Wildlife hate wind more than cold or rain.
Since 1/1/11 I have been describing what I see in the back yard. I occasionally digress.
