We have had good rain in April and part of May, mostly light rain. I was delighted to spot and be able to capture these mushrooms in photo.
And, the light rain definitely brings beautiful and fresh colors to the garden:
Mama duck brings her ducklings to the pond, they are happily fishing, 8 ducklings there. They are growing fast:
We had a fun gathering after coming back from our trip to Taiwan, M brought me this beautiful bunch of wildflowers. π While traveling, I did miss the wildflower season of Texas!
I love those delicate mushrooms and the pretty Red Admiral! It made me smile to read how you welcome the rain while we have been moaning about having too much here in the UK!
Welcome back to the states!! The fungi is beautiful and I love the little ducklings
