And We Have Lift-off!

I was trying to capture this little metallic green fly on the aster,

but it launched just as the shutter released.

Also, Shaggy Mane mushrooms (Coprinus comatus)

are now fruiting profusely. Must be the recent rain.

This wee little mushroom (note how tiny by the magnification

of surrounding mosses/liverworts) was sprouting on a log in the woods.
