It's been crazy here, with no time to write, but there's always time for fungi. Mushroom programs always require new photos, and this was one of my favorites from the day. Darkening skies offered some drama to the ambient light while lazy thunder and showers made us happy for bags with raincoats.</p> <p>The last Monday in Nature for May has perfect light, but no doubt, plenty of dramatic images. Have a great day, everyone.</p><div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laura Weishaupt Posted May 30, 2016 Author Share Posted May 30, 2016 <p>Bill, the last time I saw a Northern Water Snake that close, and in that posture, it was getting ready to eat my boots. It's amazing how fast they are, even when wrapped around rocks and being pulled downstream by a current.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jordan2240 Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 <p>Laura,<br> The thing definitely startled me as I walked by the canal it was in (snakes give me the willies anyway). Knowing nothing about their behavior, I just stood there naively taking photos until it slinked (slank?) back into the water. </p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matthew Currie Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 <p>The iris are starting to bloom, and with them come the little bugs that like iris juice. Not quite sure what they are, but they drill holes in the buds. It was windy, and hard to catch them well.</p><div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
