While there appears to be Nothing there is Everything

I was driving around the back of my block in the afternoon a few days ago and paused for a few minutes. The thing that was not immediately apparent was the amazing amount of insects. Bees, Flying Ants, Butterflies, Dragon Flies and a lot of smaller insects as well. The photo makes it look like there are just plants but the reality is that there was this whole world of activity between the plants, the ground, the air and insects. Nothing turned into everything.

A selection of the Fungi from this mornings walk.

A short walk this morning over a rarely visited part of my block and found a variety of Fungi. It has been a wet Summer so far and this morning felt quite tropical. Perhaps this is why there were a range of different types? I found them interesting and am pleased that they add to the diversity of this particular property.
