Shrooms, Tortoiseshell, Diamond Dew


All the moisture we had in June has encouraged the 'shrooms to grow...I have an ID book for them but 9 out of 10 times it seems impossible, so I gave up trying. I'd never seen peach-colored ones before, or this shape. Near Nemo.


Looks like this is a Milbert tortoiseshell butterfly, found in the same place I got pics of the Admiral and checkerspot, on a different day. Trying to snap and identify butterflies and moths opens up a whole new can of...catepillars, by the way...


Sun. my friend and I discovered a zillion "dia-monds" in a small park beside a creek...the area was heavily dew-kissed, and the droplets just sparkled brilliantly in the morning sun. See the blue "diamonds" in the background?!
