The pause that refreshes. That water is so clear you can't see it in spots. Doesn't that light look like early morning? It's actually noon.

Tiny Parasola species (P. auricoma?), or inkcaps, in redcedar duff. These pop up in the morning, dump spores, and are gone by nighttime.

Finally mushrooms. But in a watered area in the park. Some sort of Agaricus spp., possibly augustus, with its pleasant smell.

I persuaded Monty to be cute in autumn leaves. It involved a bribe. He really isn't into posing or looking at me when there's stuff to sniff.

Monty likes walking on ledges, parapets, walls and so forth. He'll walk on the edging even if there is a full concrete sidewalk

I keep hoping it will rain for a bit more than a desultory hour a week. I miss the lichen, mosses and mushrooms.

Just a rose in the garden, glowing in sunlight

Twisty seaside Sitka spruce (Picea sitchensis), a PNW native, with krummholz effect. These spruce can grow over 300 ft (~100m) tall in sheltered areas! And live over 600 years!
