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

Passing clouds
Another beautiful day. Small butterflies have come and gone too quickly for identification. A hummer visited. A hawk with a long tail circled overhead and a great blue heron glided over headed downstream. Blue jays have taken an interest in acorns. The 12-spotted skimmer was on patrol again.
At lunch, a skink skedaddled. The black swallowtail and the slaty skimmer were back and a tiger swallowtail flitted through the trees. A passing boat flushed a little green heron. A small weeping conk fungus is emerging from the oak stump. Two Carolina wrens called to each other. A male goldfinch preened high up in the oak. And a mockingbird looked ragged atop the redwood.
