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

Another storm
Somehow I managed to erase all the pictures on my main camera. At breakfast I saw titmice. I rescued a frog, a mama wolf spider, and a big green June beetle. A ladybug, alas, was beyond help. A hummer landed directly over me and I was looking forward to those shots. Blue jays set up a racket in the oak. I saw a brownish butterfly and a very tattered female black swallowtail. A female widow skimmer used the perch for a while and a saddlebags ruled the upper airspace. The argiope was still in its web.
Fortunately, I had the little snapshot camera along in the car during the
storms yesterday and today. A scary wall of darkness pushed up from
the South as I drove West. Thunder and lightning ran ahead of it. The rain finally arrived as I headed home.
