Sheltering from the rain

It was raining at lunchtime but Crafty Green Boyfriend and I braved Corstorphine Hill. Many creatures were hiding from the rain, like these snails, who seem to have found something to do together to while away the time until the rain stops


Then there was this burnet moth, which didn't want to reveal the number of spots it has and crept around the petals of the rosebay willow herb carefully staying partially hidden all the time

And meanwhile if you're a fairy, what better way to shelter from the rain than with one of these fairy bonnets (that is, if I'm correct in my identification the actual name of this fungus!)?

  1. Bees are great at hanging upside down in the rain under flowers! You have good eyes to spot these creatures hiding away.

  2. Fairy bonnet is a perfect name for that fungus! Lovely photos, as always.

  3. You do see different things during hikes in the rain. Good for you for getting out.
