General observations, generally during dog walks
Crazy tiny ants
Very busy tiny red ants we’ve never seen before, on the dog walk today.

End of 2019
Lovely summer year-end day in Uruguay.
Mushrooms, mushrooms
Past-prime mushroom fading back into a burned stump. The area we walk in suffered a serious fire ten years ago.
The lucky spider
The dog Lea has an exceptional gift for stepping on anything we stop to look at on our dog walks. Happily, this time she misses.
State of the fruit trees
Lemons: going bonkers as usual
Oranges: from fewer than a dozen to date, this looks like it may be the breakout year
Avocados: after a barren year, indications are we can again anticipate hundreds this season.
Yikes! Spikes!
Palo borracho: tree-hugger’s nemesis
Lea catches a lizard!
Unfortunately for Lea the Lizard Chasing Dog, it was already quite dead. Its tail broke off moments after taking this picture, an impressive escape move from something that isn’t even alive.
