Brrr, it was a mite cold this morning! 27F was our low!
With the 27F, the Frostweed finally was frosting! And on a Friday. Fun! Lots of f’s. LOL.
A stinkhorn (Phallus) had been toppled!
Looking down the stem!
A push-me-pull-me fungus gnats! Ok they were just mating. 🙂 It seemed pretty private until I stuck the phone down there.
Then there were multiple of these Dung Beetles (Scarabaeinae) crawling under a stinkhorn.
A late Fall Aster (Symphyotrichum ericoides) blooming.
Here was a surprise, a Common Yarrow (Achillea millefolium) blooming!
The backside of a feather. I don’t know the species, but it could be a vulture, a crow, or a roadrunner. Definitely was not enough information to pick a species.
I love to watch dung beetles. And that albatross is special. Sure hope her egg hatches and she’s able to raise it.
Can’t imagine raising a kid at that age. 😉
Hooray for Wisdom!
Amazing mama!
Yes a bit nippy but not that nippy here – only 34 on top of the hill.
You would think a higher elevation would be colder…Ha ha!
I love the feather close up!
