Today's bucket is going to be largely an empty bucket. I'm going to steal enhydra's fancy green block to make it seem more impressive. There is a puzzle below the fold.
The Daily Bucket is a regular feature of the Backyard Science group. It is a place to note of any observations you have made of the world around you. Insects, weather, meteorites, climate, birds and/or flowers. All are worthy additions to the bucket. Please let us know what is going on around you in a comment. Include, as close as is comfortable for you, where you are located. Each note is a record that we can refer to in the future as we try to understand the patterns that are quietly unwinding around us.

There hasn't been a bucket yet today although there have been several excellent Backyard Science diaries on butterflies, caterpillars, and a mysterious plant. If you haven't done so pleas check them out.
So I'm just posting a single, very highly cropped image. It was taken back in May but that won't help you much. If you feel in a sporting mood please post your guess as to what it is. I'll post the full image in the evening.
My report - Tallahassee, FL. Hot and humid even at 7:30 in the morning. Hatchling Broad-headed skink and Green Anole both spotted on our deck.
"Green Diary Rescue" is Back!
After a hiatus of over 1 1/2 years, Meteor Blades has revived his excellent series. As MB explained, this weekly diary is a "round-up with excerpts and links... of the hard work so many Kossacks put into bringing matters of environmental concern to the community... I'll be starting out with some commentary of my own on an issue related to the environment, a word I take in its broadest meaning."
"Green Diary Rescue" will be posted every Saturday at 1:00 pm Pacific Time on the Daily Kos front page. Be sure to recommend and comment in the diary.
