Chilly

The wind stripped the trees and grounded many birds but titmice wanted breakfast.  A white throated sparrow visited the birdbath.  I sat outside in the sun but the wind gusts were uncomfortable.  A squirrel dropped in.  The usual seed eaters and downy woodpeckers could not stay away and I glimpsed a pine warbler.

I saw a few bees headed to the camellia.  Turtles believed it was warm enough to cask under the morning's cloudless sky.  Geese and mallards occupied the creek.   Heavy cumulus accumulated in the afternoon and produced a fiery sunset.
