A white shaggy mushroom sprouts from sandy soil with wood chips around it. One side catches a bit of dappled sun and a wide deeply veined leaf behind the mushroom catches another bit of sun to become illuminated bright green.

A happy grass skipper butterfly on a Montauk daisy with its proboscis extended. It has a cute face with big soft eyes and a fuzzy little head with doodle-bopper antennas on top.

Starting to get a very noticeable population increase as far as pet trade escapees go. Pin tailed Whydah, and Scaly breasted Munia. Happy they are surviving, concerned for the natives. Peace! #birds #birding #munia #whydah #petrade #invasive #peace
