The humidity was catching up with the heat, alas. I saved ground beetles and scarabs from the water while dodging spiders that scampered across the surface. When I tried to photograph them, the scarabs flew away. Dragonflies lingered and one used a perching stake.
A pair of mockingbirds swooped at the barkbutter balls but found my presence threatening.
A young yellow crowned night heron hunted along the edge of the creek. It successfully caught dinner. Then a great egret came stalking up the creek and under the dock to where the night heron lurked. Meanwhile a pair of doves meandered across the top of the dock. Later, two crows prospected along the shore.
Wasps and bumblebees fed on the rue. The mountain mint was close to blooming. And to celebrate the arrival of June, there were fireflies.
