Today I found myself at Bluebonnet Swamp. Again. I left the house with my camera in tow, not sure where I was going, and my car just sort of took me there as though on autopilot. Was I ever glad that I went! Except I could have done without the oppressive humidity. Ai yi yi! Wasn't I just complaining about having cold, stiff hands a few days ago? I think I'd rather be stiff and cold than wet, sticky and miserable. There's just no pleasing me when it comes to weather conditions in the south. Enough yammering...here is what I saw today!

| My first ever sighting of the rose-breasted grosbeak! |
 |
| What are you looking at, lady? |
 |
| First of season indigo bunting. Not my best shot, but the blue is really something. |
 |
| This one is either a female or juvenile |
 |
| Brown thrasher eating "bark butter" that my birding friend had just smeared on the limb. |
 |
| A very large rabbit |
 |
| The skinks were out in large numbers today. |
 |
| This one was at least 6" in length. |
 |
| Bloom from a tulip poplar that someone placed on the boardwalk ledge |
