A Carolina wren greeted the morning. A bluebird finally showed up in the middle of the morning. A molting female cardinal had a punk hairdo. I saw the male hummer but only got pictures of females. A very molty pine warbler wanted barkbutter balls.
When the sun reached the mountain mint, a buckeye refused to be dislodged from the delicious flowers, no matter how many bees and wasps buzzed around. A slaty skimmer used a dried up gladiolus stalk as a perch. Later in the day, a duskywing enjoyed the mountain mint. Two great golden digger wasps joined the crowd. I still haven't identified the odd black bug with a yellow patch on its back.
A full grown skink scooted across the patio and under the chair. In the late afternoon, I saved a nearly grown five lined skink that had fallen into the pool. It was not very grateful.
The sun was bright all day though clouds caused it to wink. The South wind was hot but it managed to cool overheated skin. A cormorant dried out on the neighbors' floating dock. A great blue heron perched on one of the posts for tying up the boat we don't have.
