Winter 2011 photo journal; Day 1 - Big Brook Dam, Lavender Berry Farm

Big Brook Dam in Pemberton






Forest sentinel... or perhaps just waiting for some food.





Unsure, except that it's prickly.





Hi, I'm some moss!





The fungus said eat me, the paramedics said NO!





How very Blair Witch of you. - Anyone fancy a picnic at the picnic table of Blair Witch doom? (Actually, I liked it, but still, I liked the bleakness of it too).





The tiniest red arachnid you ever did see - actually, probably not the tiniest, but a very bright, red little spider!





Karri growth.





Tiny mushroom fungi - they might be toadstools, but I'd need a magnifying glass to tell you the difference.





Big Brook Dam - where you can fish for Marron (freshwater lobster). Nom nom nom.





Hai!





Hai moar!





But still, very peaceful - We sat here for rather a while, actually. Enjoying ourselves. I walked along a few different paths while Glen rested his driving feet, and then I came back and we both went back up to the car to go to our place of rest.





Which looks deceptively beautiful. Or maybe not deceptively. Maybe it was that beauty that attracted all the cockroaches to our chalet!

Is it a spider? Something about the body and legs doesn't seem right, but it could just be a camera angle.

Lol @ blair witch photo.

To me it looks almost like a mite. So either it's some mite living off the spider that spun that web, or it is actually a spider.

I was thinking mite too, with the flat-looking body and the way the legs are arranged.
