Cool Juneteenth

The male goldfinch glowed in the sunlight, so why did the camera focus on the vegetation in the background?   Red flowered gladiolus spears spread out from the feeder post.  A male bluebird helped himself to some barkbutter balls.  The hummingbird feeder was a success. 

The breeze was colder than the water in the pool.  Lots of leaf shreds and pine needles clogged the skimmer again but all I rescued was a few beetles.  A couple of brown damselflies perched on the pool rim waiting for prey.  A leafcutter bee industriously pollinated the butterfly milkweed.  Leatherwing beetles abandoned the parsley for the mountain mint.  A potter wasp was also attracted to the mountain mint.  I tried again to photograph dragonflies in flight.  Oh well.
