A black swallowtail landed on the Solomon's seal, but didn't give me quite enough time for a photo. The usual cabbage white made the rounds. What I thought was a painted lady landed on the nandina in an awkward spot I couldn't get in focus. It turned out to be a red spotted purple. Rain lilies bloomed at the foot of the dry creek. The false indigo bloomed too.
The brown thrasher pair and a mockingbird were lured back for barkbutter balls. So was a titmouse. The sky was a beautiful blue but the wind was strong. The yellow cat
prowled alongside the water, then darted after something in the azalea
bush.
A pair of mallards found the pool. I yelled at them but when K shook the pool net at them they left. Meanwhile, a crow landed, hopped down to the top step and had a drink not ten feed from me. Clearly those birds do not see me as much of a threat. A buzzard soared over the house.
