Clearing

The creek was quiet but the colors were dull.  It took a long time for the patio to dry because of the humidity.  Around lunchtime we had some sunny moments.  What I think was a young chipping sparrow tried to get lunch but the house finches were too greedy.   Then it gave a side-eye to a garden spider.  A Carolina wren was more successful with the barkbutter balls.  The cardinal was beginning to grow a new tail.  

A monarch butterfly perched on a dogwood, probably because there was so little left of the milkweed.  As I left for a meeting, I spotted two large parasol toadstools at the foot of the drive.  I was busy till evening but did see the cloudless Western sky turn beautiful colors after sunset.
