At breakfast, two wrens shared crumbs, embarrassing me into refilling the dish feeders. Two yellow roses bloomed this week. Wasps and honeybees worked on the mountain mint. I think one wasp was after caterpillars, not nectar. Meanwhile, a black swallowtail was doing its best to make more caterpillars.
I finally got back in the water which was fortunate for a skink I found clinging to the wall of the skimmer. It didn't move much and I checked a couple of times for a heartbeat, but finally it disappeared when I wasn't looking. I also harassed the green frog with a slow pursuit around the pool. I didn't try to actually catch it and I wonder if it was playing too.
The sky was hazy blue until wispy clouds appeared in the evening. A swallow flew over and was gone before I could think of moving the camera. a dragonfly hunted at treetop level. Cicadas provided accompaniment.
