Surprisingly nice

The prediction was for a rainy day, and there was rain early, but the clouds that looked so menacing in the morning turned into white puffy cumulus.  The afternoon was warm and sunny and I was stuck at this keyboard.  But I finally saw the kingfisher.  It was a male.

I did manage a short walkabout the yard and fished a drowned mole out of the water.  A spider was using it as a raft. Eew!  Lots of beetles and crickets swam for their lives.
