I overslept. A cicada killer was busy around the violets next to the birdbath. A hummer was hungry for breakfast.
One frog sat on the top step of the pool ladder. It evicted itself as I came close. The other two were on my "rescue stick" that I wedged into the coping to aid critters to escape drowning. One was sitting on top of the other. By the time I got out and got the camera one frog had left. The other stayed put the whole time I swam around. After I got out, there were two frogs again.
The hummer was standing guard in the dogwood again. Blue jays got excited about the barkbutter balls. A female bluebird tried to get a few. Even a female cardinal sampled them. The bald male stuck with seeds. The female downy came for seeds too. A song sparrow pounced on a fallen seed.
The wind grew very gusty especially when a cloud blocked the sun. The fungus under the oak reappeared. A blue dasher guarded the patio. The Argiope with wanderlust was still behind my chair. Tiny midges swarmed over a stinkbug the Argiope had wrapped. The blue dasher was replaced by a larger skimmer, maybe a slaty. And still I got bit.
