More milkweed

I purchased another milkweed plant to feed the monarch caterpillars.  Today I counted four caterpillars and only one green seedpod.  The kingfisher was on the neighboring dock after lunch but back on our post in the late afternoon..  A great blue heron flew in and hunted along our shoreline.  Though sunny, it was much cooler today.

 
When I woke up, there were little puffy clouds scattered across the sky and tinted peach.  They thinned out by mid day, then thickened in the late afternoon.  The moon was up when I got out of my evening meeting.  Bars of cloud crossed it and it tinted them orange - very tigerish.  By the time I got home, the bars had become formless but the moon was still making them orange.
