Roundabout

* * *


I ended up going over much the same ground on this trip to Mt. Tam as I did the previous week. 



I started with the calla lilies because the sky was nicer this time around.



I checked up on the camera trap, and a chipmunk scampered away from the area as I approached. Such a fast-moving critter could be hard to catch when it takes 2.5 seconds for the video to start recording after movement is detected.



Once again, I was mainly drawn to the little stuff, like lichens in the moss.



I even found some pixie-cup lichens holding goblets of water.



Delicate white maids also grew in the moss.



Mushroom season isn't over till the fat porcini sings.



The hound's tongue inflorescence has unfurled since last week.
