Skinklet

I almost didn't see the tiny skink in the water.  It looked like it wasn't long out of the egg.  It squirmed out of my hand but tried to hide between my toes.  Fiery skippers competed with bees and wasps for mountain mint nectar.  The humidity fogged the camera lens.which created some eerie photos.  K picked the first batch of figs.  A squirrel went out on a limb to indulge in wild cherries. A tiny pale jumping spider hiked along the railing.  I would have said it was a magnolia green jumper if it had been green.  I appear to have lost the battles against spider mites and hibiscus sawflies.
