The summer weather pattern of afternoon thunderstorms settled in. So, believing the weather prediction, I headed out to the pool in the morning. A skink was startled, ran off, then peeked back at me.
I rescued many beetles, a few spiders including a mama, and quite a few winged ants and wasps. A huge copper-brown ant disappeared down a crack just as I was getting her in focus. Ungrateful! The beetles included a firefly and a leatherwing. A blue dasher perched in back of the house. I caught just a glimpse of a tiger swallowtail. A couple of snails stayed in their shells.
A great blue heron flew upstream, a great egret walked under the bulkhead, and a yellow crowned night heron just fished. Crows came for barkbutter balls but blue jays got more of them. A couple of ducks and a turtle stayed on the lake logs after clouds covered the sun.
