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

A glorious day
The regulars came to the feeder while the hummers checked out the refreshed juice but didn't settle in for a drink. Lots of wasps buzzed around but not other insects. The portulaca blooms looked lovely to me but not to bugs. A tailless skink ventured across the patio.
In the afternoon I saw one titmouse come to the feeder. The night heron stalked along the shore again. A black swallowtail laid eggs on the rue. A twelve spotted skimmer hunted overhead. An osprey passed by headed West. From the pool I was able to see two foxes just outside their den under the neighbors' deck. Some clouds occluded the sun at times. Since I cut off the rotting sunflowers some of the lower buds have opened.
