Dragonflies zipped around too fast to identify. In fact, they seemed more like ripples in the fabric of reality than flying insects. I tried catching them with the house wall as a background, but just got a blur. Bees and wasps, leatherwing beetles, and a snout butterfly stuffed themselves on the mountain mint or rue. I glimpsed the damselfly but it disappeared. Several of the usual beetles and a few wasps needed rescue from drowning. The pool skimmer was full of bullfrog, the same one judging by its patterned skin.
The heat was moderated by a strong breeze. The goldfinches couldn't stay away from their sunflower. I saw a male and a female hummer at the feeder. When darkness fell, the local pyromaniacs began letting off their illegal fireworks. The poor dog came and sat on my foot.
