Since 1/1/11 I have been describing what I see in the back yard. I occasionally digress.

Sunflower
The larger sunflower by the pool opened its flower. I expected both plant and flower to be much bigger. Low tide was quite low and I discovered seven mallards hanging out on the dam. A yellow crowned night heron stalked under the dock and all I caught was a blur. I managed to mislay the camera and missed a pretty sunset-tinted cloud reflection in the creek. Thankfully, I found the camera before it spent the night outdoors. Two sizable caterpillars munched on the milkweed which was looking rather droopy in the heat. A cloudless sulphur butterfly flitted around the patio.
