| Evening Stroll |
|
| Seeking a suitable location for yet another adult Mantid release. |
|
| Sprays of bright red rose hips framed the pathway. |
|
| Huge "Old Growth" Sycamore. |
|
| Dead central trunk with several thriving offspring. |
|
| New growth color. Last burst before leaves fall. |
|
| Valley Oak with scores of colorful wasp galls. |
|
| Gall shaped like a bi-color chocolate kiss. |
|
| Native "Coffeeberry" shrub with fruit. |
|
| This example mostly in shade, so its leaves are oversized to collect light. |
|
| Favorite view "off trail" with creek beyond. |
|
| Alamitos Creek hurrying towards the sea. Can you hear it gurgling to itself? |
|
| Along the creek, a type of introduced mint bloomed, attracting insects. |
|
| Perfect place to release the mantid. It immediately made a kill! |
|
| "Havoc" loves to go exploring. |
|
| Curious find. An emerging "Deadman's Foot" fungus. |
|
