The South wind kept the day warm in spite of the clouds it brought. A house wren scampered through the vegetation bordering the patio. I caught its tail in one photo and head in another.
The new native
coral honeysuckle flowers opened. So did the maroon daylilies. The fancy ruffled daylilies continued to bloom but the yellow and orange daylilies were about done. The neighbor's sycamore seeds blew into our yard and mostly into the
water. If a dandelion were a tree, it would be a sycamore.
Two Scarites ground beetles needed repeated rescuing. Maybe I should have left them to their watery fate? Leatherwing beetles moseyed across the parsley flowers, looking for love and lunch. An all-black bee feasted on the butterfly milkweed until a tiny sweat bee harassed it. I spotted a firefly on a mountain mint leaf. Probably
Photinus pyralis.
