A goldfinch pair visited but only for a drink of water. It surprises me that they will drink from the ant moat but turn up their beaks if the sunflower seeds aren't a fresh refill of the feeder.
A damselfly dodged me again. I rescued more ground beetles and avoided spiders, though a little one bit me when I picked up the leaf hiding it. A quite large centipede had drowned. I'd intended to photograph it but a biting fly drove me away. A black swallowtail flitted all over the rue, always in blurry motion. A female great blue skimmer used one of my perches in the late afternoon. A female common whitetail was attracted to the white circle of DE that K had spread around the strawberries. The strawberry planter was up on a table so the dragonfly had full use of the circle. Bees and wasps were everywhere.
Dramatic-looking cumulus clouds cast shadows across the sky. An exotic daylily began to open. Andy helped K chase mallards away from the pool. I really couldn't blame the ducks, it was a very hot day.. Again.
