Since 1/1/11 I have been describing what I see in the back yard. I occasionally digress.

Clouding up
The geese tried to stage a comeback but we headed them off. The feeder is empty again though a hopeful chickadee keeps trying its luck. A flock of blue jays screamed through. Roses are blooming now and the azaleas are done. The first of the yellow flag irises popped open today. A pair of mating dragonflies zipped past.
Lunch came with a skink and a black swallowtail. It got hot again, then there was a brief downpour. Late afternoon brought out the ospreys. Cardinals, finches, chickadees, and wrens came to the feeder. The male towhee investigated the mulch before noticing how close I was. All this time, towering cumulus threatened while the sun and sky were glazed with white. Strange skies.
