I didn't see anything of note till I got out of the water. Then I startled a couple of skinks, one big, one small. The small one darted into a hole then popped back out and frantically sought a different hole. I guess the first one was occupied. The big skink froze for a moment, then slipped into a crack. A few minutes later, a small bluetailed skink sauntered across the patio.
While waiting for yet another meeting to start, I looked out the window and saw a yellow crowned night heron hunting crabs at the water's edge. Unfortunately a boat came by and the heron decided to relocate. I got a glimpse through the foliage of turtles sunning on logs on the lake.
Since the sun was still out in the afternoon I was able to get pictures of the web outside my West window. The venusta orchard spider was active and its orange butt was unmistakable.
