Some light rain fell in the morning so I don't understand why a storm sewer across the creek fountained like Old Faithful. We're on a different set of pipes so it didn't affect us and it didn't last very long. In fact, it's odd that I was in the right place at the right time to see it. The rain had ended and it was quite warm so I was outside with the dog.
I was also in the right place at the right time to see a monarch butterfly that I think was freshly emerged. It was pumping its wings which they do to fully expand them. and when it flew, it fluttered weakly before dropping down a few feet further away from me. I hope it's not to late for the journey South.
A kingfisher flew downstream and out of sight though I may have heard it later. A great blue heron preened as it stood on one foot on a post. A turtle watched ducks on the lake log. There were brief glimmers of sunlight in the afternoon and a fiery sunset.
