Srimongal Flora and Fauna

What can I say? This was absolutely exquisite in real life. The photo does no justice.





I took a walk with Pruitt and Annika to find the sunset. We never saw the sun, but the sunless evening sky was nice enough. The "fog" was actually smoke from fires burning on the hillside.







These leaves were mammoth and so very nice and crunchy.







This tree with its strange seedpods was odd and somehow strangely poetic. "I think that I shall never see . . ."









Look what Dave found. The underside of this baby is where the beauty lies. The top is just plain jane black.
