Oriental - Parasols-01.jpg (1/1)
 

Spotted these emerging from the leaf litter on a garden bed in my back
yard. They reminded me of an oriental umbrella. The tallest was approx.
3/4" (19mm) high and the cap, approx. 5/16" (8mm) across. Tiny,
translucent and very delicate, they lasted about a day before collapsing
and expiring.

Heh, a long time ago for me that is for sure.

Mike, the people over on alt.binaries.pictures.original, would probably love
seeing your photos.

Thank you, Barbara. I may do so sometime soon. I've been lurking for a
couple of weeks and read the FAQ for the ABPO group that was posted the
other day (an excellent group FAQ, I think). I may end up cross posting
some also, between there and *pictures.animals and this NG if the
subject is appropriate for all groups.

Having just taught myself how to upload JPEGs to NGs correctly earlier
this week, I must refrain from running headlong into the fray :-)

Cheers.
