It always happens. I am looking for something: seaweed on the shore, starfish on pilings, rock formations, the newest flowers, you name it: I will always find something to distract me. This time, it was spiders I was seeking. I found mushrooms.

At Roberts Lake, after dark, I almost stepped on a couple of large mushrooms flat on the ground. All I could see was the darker patch against the duff. The flash brought out these wonderful colours:

There was another, but I'm saving it for tomorrow. Because it had visitors.

Siempre me pasa lo mismo. Salgo buscando alguna cosa, sea algas en la playa, estrellas de mar debajo del muelle, rocas o flores, o lo que sea: siempre me distraigo con algo inesperado. El otro dia buscaba arañas. Encontré hongos, y más.
Los dos primeros eran muy chiquitos, apenas unos 4 centímetros de altura. El último crecía en la tierra debajo de grandes abetos. Ya se estaba haciendo noche, y apenas lo vi como una mancha más oscura. El flash descubrió sus colores ¡tan vivos!
Hubo otro, pero lo dejo hasta mañana, porque traía visitas.

I'm having to moderate all comments because Blogger seems to have a problem notifying me. Sorry about that. I will review them several times daily, though, until this issue is fixed.
Also, I have word verification on, because I found out that not only do I get spam without it, but it gets passed on to anyone commenting in that thread. Not cool!
