Small area of 9-inch square asbestos floor tile with wear damage; the tile and associated mastic material have been worn through to the concrete substrate below. Where did the asbestos go?

Small juveniles have only two white stripes, dividing with growth into numerous lines. The lines break-up into dashes and spots when adult . Feeds on fishes. Has toxin-producing glands in the dermis which is extremely bitter to the taste. (Encyclopedia of Life) Nuweiba, South Sinaï, Egypt
After the Rain, Summer Morning, Rocky Mountain Front Range, Colorado. There are about 17,000 known species of lichens worldwide. They are comprised of fungi (mostly 16 orders of ascomycetes). Bryophytes from algae or cyanobacteria, living among filaments of multiple fungi - living in a symbiotic relationship. They can survive long, dry periods and can resist high and low temperatures.
Types of Lichen Structures:
Squamalose - flat leaf-like, scales
Foliose - flakes on surface, like peeling paint

Someone abandoned their motorhome along Interstate 10 in Riverside County. It's become a substrate for street art. This originally had tires and an engine but they're now gone. Even the disc brakes have been picked off of the chassis. Ten years ago, this never happened. Now, it has become common.
My understanding is that towing companies often don't want to touch these vehicles. I think abandoned vehicles, when towed, rack up storage charges. The owner may claim the vehicle and pay towing and storage charges. If the owner does not claim it and vehicle were saleable, the towing company can sell the towed car after acquiring title. If you tow a recent model car and this occurs, it works out well for the tow company. They can't sell these motorhomes because they're garbage. I expect the state, county, or city government would have to pay for disposal. It's parked on a public roadway and no one else would.
...A whole lot of risks — the risks of layoff, the risks of job-stopping illness — lots of risks that we were previously helped to bear by business and government have been shifted to our backs and the backs of our families. I don't think that Americans realize the extent to which that shift has occurred.

Too cute for their own good, Water Dragons are more often heard than seen as they dive into the water when disturbed. A Water Dragon can remain submerged for around one hour and they are accomplished swimmers.
In the wild, Water Dragons can be found in large numbers in areas of suitable habitat. These groups are usually comprised of several females, juveniles of various ages and a dominant male who will defend as much of the territory as possible from other males. Water Dragons communicate through a variety of dominant and submissive signals including head-bobbing, saluting and substrate licking.

Flask Earthstar. Another specimen which took us by surprise was this Earthstar, again, not the substrate expected for it - growing as seen in sand and dune vegetation. Sample taken for microscopy and identification. Fungal foray with Liz Holden, mycologist and Grampian Fungus Group, to the sand dunes of St. Cyrus SNH National Nature Reserve. Which is already one of our favourite places, with its micro climate, at the bottom of cliffs.
Edit - confirmed as Geastrum lageniforme by Liz Holden, mycologist. Found in only seven sites in Scotland, mainly in the Edinburgh area and a new species for this reserve.
A bright yellow solitary coral that attaches to a hard substrate. With retractile tentacles with clusters of cnidocytes. Circular in section, narrower at the base. Several polyps may be found clustered on the same base, which in turn may have an orange colour in some individuals.
On hard substrates in caves or shady ledges, due to its weakness in light exposure. Distributed in the Mediterranean and south of the British Isles.

Coral solitario de un color amarillo brillante que se fija a un sustrato duro. Con tentáculos retráctiles con agrupaciones de cnidócitos. De sección circular, es más estrecho de la base. Se pueden encontrar varios pólipos agrupados en una misma base, que a su vez puede tener un color anaranjado en algunos individuos.
Sobre sustratos duros en cuevas o salientes sombreados, debido a su debilidad en la exposición de luz. Con una distribución por el mediterráneo y al sur de las islas británicas.
