neverspentAnother great day for spectacular clouds as another storm system wells up. The humidity in these fronts still has the heat index soaring into the dark red zone.
Magnolias and crepe myrtles are blooming, I noticed for the first time. I'll try to post pictures when I can get some decent ones.
Seen today: mockingbirds fighting. It's prime territorial defense time and the males are quite bellicose. Also, a pure white moth fluttering in circles in a patch of sun on the pavement. It was one of those mystical video snapshot moments with no context, no understanding; just a striking thing happening where I stood, and no one else noticed.
