Fungi of beechwood: The Deer Shield (Pluteus cervinus), I believe, was growing on a decayed beech log entirely covered with moss. The colour of the cap of this common mushroom is typically much lighter resembling the colour of the young deer (hence epithet ‘cervinus’ from the Latin word ‘cervus’ – ‘a deer’; though some say that you need to look at the gills under microscope to see stag-like edges). The cap of this young and probably recently emerged specimen is dark brown, almost black enhanced by wet weather. Pluteus in Latin means ‘screen’ or ‘protective fence’, hence a common name for this genus Shield mushrooms. Lansdown, Bath, BANES, England, U.K.
I try to give ID where possible but often it is not an easy task in the world of fungi without special examination, and I am not a mycologist. So, if you feel that I’m wrong, please do correct.

This surprisingly large waterfall is actually Manitoba's highest and it had a very high water flow when we were there due to the rain the day before.
I'm working on a series of plants we have in our garden. These do not flower but are the most beautiful ornamental leaves I think I've ever seen. These are called Persian Shield.

While checking my hostas for snails (while engaging in my Gastropod Relocation Programme), I discovered this little Hawthorn Shield bug, Acanthosoma haemorrhoidale, on the underside of one of the leaves. As it was pouring rain, I carefully brought it into the conservatory to photograph. This little critter was more active than I had anticipated, being somewhat annoying by moving around. However, at one point it did stay stationary long enough to allow this 13-shot focus stack. It was returned to the same place in the garden where I had found it when I was finished.
No shield bugs were harmed in the making of this photograph.

I cannot always ‘Thank’ everyone individually, for their Visits and ‘Faves’ however, I will always try to respond and thank all those that leave a ‘Comment’. If I do not reply to your 'Comment', it is not because I am ignoring you, it's because I have not seen the 'Comment'.
Your 'Comments' do not always appear in 'Notifications' or Flickr mail, so, I am sorry for any delay in responding. Often your 'Comment' is only spotted 'On the Page' on the day, that I see it. (seen ONLY when replying to someone HAS 'Commented' on the image, and I see a notification)
With the temperature starting to rise (15-17°C (59-63°F), the Spring Flowers starting to bloom and some rain (about 18mm or 3/4 inch) over the past 10 days we are starting to see some insect life in the garden.
