Sunny, but neither sticky nor scorching. But not much to photograph. The creek looked placid despite the light breeze. I had my coffee outside and finches came anyway. So did squirrels, but they were very twitchy. A Carolina wren and a hummer also ignored me. Bees and wasps and the hummer sipped rosemary flowers. Other birds chirped and insects buzzed. The cicadas are quite distinct form the crickets. A nuthatch showed up after lunch. The same butterflies - hairstreak, purple, tiger - and some dragonflies zipped around. In the late afternoon, swifts circled overhead so high I thought they were just the spots in my eyes. But I could hear their calls very clearly despite the distance. The hummer feeds right on into twilight. It is mosquito-ee this evening, maybe because there's less wind? A great blue heron landed on the dock and I heard a kingfisher call.
