All is well in spider-land. There are at least two males hanging out with the argiope. You can see one between her front legs but it is out of focus because it's really behind her. There are also a bunch of small black spiders with fat abdomens about the size of a corsage pin bead, but I haven't seen any red markings. Once again wispy cirrus clouds are giving way to thunderheads out of the Southwest. But they're just passing through. An egret fished from the floating dock. I saw a brown thrasher and later heard either it of a mockingbird giving a concert. A gray hairstreak visited the rosemary and I glimpsed a black swallowtail and a cabbage butterfly. Some dragonflies zoomed through without pause.
The pool water is about 76F, not quite too cool. The skimmer was just full of fishing spiders.
