A female hummer posed for pictures while feeding. Why can't the male be like that? A five-lined skink crossed the step and headed into the foliage behind the birdbath, then changed its mind. The dog sunbathed for a short while.
A male Eastern Amberwing dragonfly nestled among the mountain mint flowers but I don't think he was there to catch bees. A blue dasher watched from the bird feeder hanger. A couple of great black wasps joined the great golden digger wasps on the mountain mint Both species act like they've had too much coffee. There were no new kinds of bees that I could see, but a fiery skipper joined the feast.
Raccoons had left their muddy paw prints all around the rim of the pool. I rescued a wasp and a mama spider, very carefully. Lots of plant debris blew into the pool yesterday but only a few beetles plus the wasp and spider. The air seemed very hazy and I read later that the air quality was poor. .
