The season’s moving along

I’m still making visits to the swamp; not much time for other outdoor stuff… even must curb my usual July bowhunting eagerness. The summer is advancing; I could see it in the swamp. Water levels were low; afternoon showers were only making things muddy, not accumulating much water. Garry, the tree frog was still perched in his niche, but Charlotte spider seemed to have done away with her web and was standing guard over an egg clutch. I noticed that her abdomen was much smaller than my previous picture, too.
