With the last storm done, I wanted to hike back up our property to see if there were more wildflowers than last time. There were lots of shooting stars, which I had seen a few of last hike. And the manzanita has bloomed. Only a few more flowers had celebrated the rain. I came around a tree and was startled by this lounge lizard. He was neither disturbed nor impressed by my presence, just wanted to revel in the sun. The best surprise was found beside rotting logs... I believe they are Cortinarius cinnamomeus, commonly called the Orange-gilled Cort, which I learned from a great mushroom dye website: mycopigments.com. They are simmering in the crock pot, waiting for my next skein of yarn...
