Warmer

The creek was quite still and mirror-like in the morning.   A hummer explored the hibiscus flowers.  Hummer wars were under way.  Brown headed nuthatches were as plentiful as blue jays.  An immature cardinal with a brown beak foraged around the birdbath. 

I got quite sweaty hiking across the NSU campus.  It was at least three degrees warmer than home.  The ray petals on the sunflower shriveled. The fancy ruffled daylily made seeds!   Late afternoon sun illuminated a sheet web. 

Birds began to eat the half-grown acorns.  There was a commotion and crows streamed past a sentinel blue jay, but I didn't learn what it was all about.
