The first is of some mushrooms. We&#8217;ve had these for the last few summers and I assume they are growing on the rotting roots of the trees we&#8217;ve had in the back yard. We lost a pretty big tree in July of 2010, right in the middle of the back yard. That would have had roots spreading throughout the back yard and I&#8217;m pretty sure the mushrooms started to appear after that died. We&#8217;ve take out two more big trees, so I&#8217;m guessing we&#8217;ll have even more of these mushrooms over the next few years.<\/p>\n<p>They come up overnight in little bunches and last a day or two at the most. Then they turn to a rotting mush, all filled with maggots, which is really quite disgusting. All part of the cycle though.<\/p>\n<p>The second picture os of two cabbage white butterflies mating. What I find most interesting about this is that they can fly around, still connected tail to tail. I&#8217;m not sure if only one of them does the flying and the other just hangs on, or if they both contribute to the flying effort. This is a family blog, so I won&#8217;t ask any more questions or make any more comments.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Two pictures today, unrelated except for the fact that they were both taken in our back yard.
