Two tiny mushroom on a limb destined for the winter fireplace. We are having rain after rain after rain and the mushrooms are popping up and out.

It was a good day for eye close ups yesterday. This Garter Snake (Thamnophis sirtalis) was sunning and let me get quite close before slithering off into the underbrush. I like the two dark lines darting down just under the eye.

This Gray Treefrog was not only not gray but also not in a tree. It was bright lime green and resting on a black railing making it very obvious. About 95% of the time these frogs are impossible to see but very noisy. This one was very quiet and very exposed. It was just outside the Royal Botanical Garden headquarters, in Burlington, Ontario.

I found this visiting Polyphemus moth in our barn this afternoon. (I've two cocoons in a shed but neither of them have come out yet.)

I saw these grape tendrils against the sky and was impressed. Art is where you find it.
