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.
