AROUND THE YARD....

This is a beautiful mushroom I found growing on the side of the shop.  I looked it up and it's called an Amethyst Deceiver.  It isn't poisonous, but it doesn't taste good....
 Isn't it beautiful!



..and this is a hawaiian tree snail...it was climbing up a heliconia.....it's HUGE!  You never touch them without gloves because they carry killer bacteria.....

The mushroom looks very cool, indeed - ready for some fairies to move in. Luckily, I'm not in the habit of touching snails, even humongous ones.
