Mostly insects

A Carolina wren kept going back and forth between the suet and the step below, and I kept missing it.  The back yard Argiope stayed put.  The last daylily bud opened.  Clusters of green berries dotted the beautybery bush.  I had just enough time for a swim before lunch but saw nothing needing rescue.  Something bit or stung me, however.  Threadwaisted wasps congregated, and mated, on the mountain mint.  A tattered buckeye butterfly joined them.  I also saw a tiger swallowtail but didn't have the camera handy.  A titmouse had a run-in with a bullying house finch.  Again, evening brought a thin sheet of cloud, though this time I was looking Northeast.  No rain fell, after all.
