It was a warm, beautiful day! The dawn creek mirrored the sunlit bank. First the yellow cat and then the black cat stared into the shrubbery. A brown thrasher visited at breakfast. I know it's anthropomorphism, but brown thrashers always look outraged to me. This one didn't like what was left of the suet. A brown headed nuthatch had to wait for a titmouse to hammer its seed. A Carolina wren sampled the barkbutter balls.
A great blue heron perched on the dock. The water was still very
fresca, but I rescued two young skinks. A red spotted purple flitted around and even drank where I'd dripped pool water while taking skink pics. Earlier, a tiger swallowtail flew among the trees. The five monarch caterpillars wreaked devastation on the butterfly milkweed. I hope they pupate soon! The one black swallowtail caterpillar probably had enough rue left to finish that life stage. The chrysalis was unchanged. I still could only find one yellow garden spider.
