What do you imagine is the story behind this scene I saw on my afternoon coffee break?

Always try to appreciate the little things in nature. From water drops on plants to moss and lichen. Enjoy the scenery but take a moment to look around at everything around you. 🌱
Small water drops resting on the leaves of some Kosmic Kale. Water drops collecting on the leaves of young native lupins. A relatively large drop of water collected in the middle of one leaf. Moss spreading over a log in an almost star shaped pattern. Some small lichen growing on an old rotten log.

This spider (friend is calling it Shelob) seems to be protecting my old Toyota van that has a blown head gasket and is pretty much done for.
Large spider in its web in front of my broken down van in parking lot.

Fresh water jellyfish are showing up in Canadian lakes.
They don't sting, but it's unclear from the article whether you can eat them or not. Today on @thetyee.ca

Second year where I attempt to create an illustration that works as a Christmas card, yet at the same time could be sold all year round.
This time a squirrel is marveling his collection of decorative cones.
