It rained most of the day today, but in between showers I managed to get outside in the backyard at least to participate in IRFD. There wasn’t much to look at, really.
Mostly some wet dirt, fine roots and wormy-looking things.
A little burrow under this one…and lots of trails in the next two.
The most interesting find was a little snail under the last one I flipped. I did maybe a dozen or so without much success for anything dramatic. But after I processed the photos and put them up here, I think they’re kind of neat in their own way. I’m sure a magnifying glass or microscope would reveal a lot of critters and plants not visible in these photos.
In any case, I had a great time in spite of the rain and noticed a lot of other stuff in my yard that I wouldn’t have seen otherwise. I’ll have to try this again when the weather is more favorable.
You can see the list of participants at wanderinweeta’s.

I’m actually rather jealous of your snail!

He is a sweetie, isn’t he?

Nice flip – it’s more about the process and looking closer than what you find isn’t it? The small stuff that we don’t notice/think about on a day to day basis is pretty interesting.
