Kicking myself because I didn't get a better photo than this of this small fungus that we saw yesterday, while botanizing the ranchland of Angela Cumberland and Patrick Brennan, north west of the city. After exploring their beautiful forested area, we were crossing the grassy hillside heading back towards the house, when this little (fun)gi was spotted, growing from dung. I have no idea if this is the way this particular species always looks or whether it is just this particular specimen that has developed this very unusual pattern. Very abstract and artisitic - well done, Mother Nature, yet again! Thanks again, Angela and Patrick for welcoming us so warmly and allowing us to explore your beautiful land! We appreciated it so much, and it made a most enjoyable day. And, of course, the chili and salad lunch was so yummy - thank you both from us all! Flickr is driving my nuts at the moment!!! Is anyone else having problems? In fact, I have just changed back to the old layout to see if it helps. Nope - it seems to happen in both versions, so I've returned to the new layout. I keep getting empty squares with those nasty little X's - in My Contacts' photos, my own photostream, and everywhere else. I've also been wondering if my photos are showing up or not. I am beginning to have little red X "floaters" in my eyes... Holy smokes! An almighty rain and hail storm has suddenly hit my part of the city - I'll be amazed if some parts of the city aren't seriously flooded - again! Just noticed that the far half of my street has turned into a river! Don't remember ever seeing that before. And now I hear the sirens (Police?) starting on the main road.
