Nature Amazes - July 18, 2012

You never know what you will see here. Eventhough we have been coming here for so many years, there are always new things to discover.


I hope that you can see this bug well enough. On the trail up to my sister Nancy's land above us, we bumped into this brilliantly green blue flourescent bug, shimmering in the sunshine. He looks like some kind of a stinger so we didn't get too close.


This beauty of a mushroom was on Nancy's lot. There was only one. The petticoat is really amazing. I guess it is clear where the entrance is. Any mycologists among you who can identify this one? Why would a mushroom have a lace petticoat? What is its function?

Last night we had the kind of rainstorm that makes you feel that you are trapped in a car wash machine going full blast. Talking wasn't an option so we ate a nice dinner and read books. Ever since living through the La Nina rainstorms and floods in California, a lot of rain makes me nervous.

  1. Sorry, I put this on the wrong date. The mushroom is called a Bridal Veil mushroom.
