A Carolina wren wanted an early breakfast. It found some grapes I had discarded. It didn't seem pleased. I missed a shot at a hummer. Fluffy cumulus clouds gave some relief from the hot sun. I picked figs again but didn't take the camera. The Argiope spider was gone an so were a lot of the fig eaters. Hornets were still around. While I was swimming, a blue dasher kept a lookout for mosquitoes. The only skink I saw had drowned.
The butterfly milkweed started blooming again. I saw a female common whitetail but failed to get a picture. A tiger swallowtail got away too. A duskywing skipper fed on the mountain mint for hours. I sprayed the rosemary with neem oil because something was making webs in it.
The thermometer showed 99° and it felt like it. Tiny insects danced on thermals from the pavement. I could only see them in sunlight and the camera caught them as featureless dots. The juvenile cardinal came back for sunflower seeds.
