We had rain overnight but the sky was clear for sunrise. Titmice and a hummer were hungry, along with the regulars. An egret stalked along the bulkhead.
At lunch the hummer returned. A skink crossed the steps. A red spotted purple lit on the camellia. A June beetle trundled along beside the pool and a camel cricked paused on the opposite side. I rescued a mama wolf spider but about half the spiderlings had already jumped ship and were trying to balloon their way out of the skimmer.
In the afternoon, a male goldfinch and a Carolina wren escaped getting their picture taken. The hummers, however, posed and posed. One is scruffy with a molting throat, another is quite white. A blue jay almost avoided the camera. A blue dasher tried to intimidate me as I went past. The slaty skimmer was back too. And finally a fox came through the yard and "set a spell."
