  Thank you, it is. If I had been really “scientific” I would have marked and taken the photos from exactly the same place. I actually thought I was lucky to find the Red Alder log three times! Have to say it is the same log and the same group of the jelly fungus. Last night’s rain has brought out the springtails and other insects as well. Photobombing insects! Posted 6 years ago

    I love seeing how things change over time, and have a plan to stake out a (very) small section of forest/yard with my kids so we can document the changes throughout the seasons. We're starting the project this summer. Posted 6 years ago

      Sounds like a great project. Your kids will enjoy it. Good luck and can’t wait for the “report”. Posted 6 years ago

  Ferdy, thanks. It happens to be on one of our favourite hikes/walks. Was back three days ago in a heavy rain fall and they were all lying down, very much past their prime. Posted 6 years ago
