Moreover, could I get better reception with rabbit ears?
Next, tiny fairy bird baths?
A box turtle lower shell is called a plastron. The top is called carapace.
Shelf fungus! This group would qualify as a cluster. When fungi are more spread out they are called a troop. If they are even more scattered and irregular, it is called gregarious.
Indeed truly amazing boring beetles tunnels on a fallen log!
When I peeled back the bark, these nymphs scurried off! Run for your lives! In this case, I took no prisoners.
Yellow Scale (Psora icterica)is a squamulose lichen that is found on soil.
An old windmill and metal tank had a earthen tank next to it.
The metal tank did not have any water, but had some soil with mosses in it.
A view of the tank.
I collected this rock as well in the tank. Indeed, a nice find. Today, I ID’d as Endocarpon petrolepideum!
So what do you think? Does it look like a lizard climbing a tree? Tomorrow’s, we head down into a ravine.
The more you know, the more you see and the more you see, the more you know.

Yes a lizard climbing the tree. Also theres a face where beetles have tunneled. Love the fairy birdbaths and shelf fungus. Thanks again for a wonderful nature outing.

Jim saw the face too.
Fun names for all the groups of fungi! Folks are so clever. Nice article links.
Imagination for sure. Probably what people did/do when sitting by the campfire? 😊
Some fun ones! The lizard has me fooled.
The beetle tunnels look like modern art to me. Maybe they should do an exhibition
