K picked figs so I picked blueberries till the sweat ran into my eyes and dripped off my nose. But I got more than a quart before I gave in and threw myself into the water. A smallish green frog was in the pool skimmer. I had left the camera in the house because of predicted thunderstorms. I managed to carry the frog to the door but when i tried to transfer it to my left hand, it wiggled free and belly-flopped to the concrete. I got a couple of pictures while it recovered. This episode convinced me to keep the camera with me. That meant that when the rain began, I had to make a dash to get the camera indoors. A yellow crowned night heron also dashed for cover in a pine tree. I sat in the rain for a while but the temperature was falling, the wind was rising, and the lightning was coming closer. We lost power briefly while I was showering the leaves and twigs out of my hair. A second storm blew through around 7pm.
Since 1/1/11 I have been describing what I see in the back yard. I occasionally digress.
