Things seen while I was searching for spiders and finding mushrooms, in no particular order. (Well, it appears that Blogger decided to load them in alphabetical order by the file name. I won't argue.)
A look at the trunk of an arbutus. Inner bark, brick-red peeling bark, older bark. |
This inner layer of the bark of the arbutus is photosynthetic, like the leaves.
Dangling cat-tail moss in a dark forest setting. |
Tiny lichens on a pear tree. Inset; showing brown spikes (rhizines) on the underside. |
More lichens on the same branch. |
Aging hydrangea. |
A young maple shows off its crop of orange leaves. |
And there were a few pink flowers. I'll leave those for tomorrow.

Y aquí hay algunas cosas vistas mientras yo buscaba arañas y encontraba hongos. Blogger decidió organizar las fotos en orden alfabético; no tengo problema.
- Las tres cortezas de un madroño del Pacífico, Arbutus menziesii. La corteza nueva, la capa interior, es capaz de fotosíntesis, igual que las hojas.
- El musgo común, "musgo cola de gato", colgado de una rama en un bosque oscuro.
- Líquenes en una rama de un peral. El rectángulo muestra las protuberancias en la parte inferior de las hojas, llamadas rizinas.
- Otros líquenes en la misma rama.
- Flores de hortensia ya bien pasadas mostrando todavía algunos tintes tenues.
- Un arce de hoja grande juvenil luciendo sus hojas anaranjadas.
Había, además algunas flores color de rosa. Esas las dejaré para mañana.

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!
