Hibiscus returns

The second blooming period has begun.  The first round of blooms on the hibiscus ended on the 21st of July, so the plant rested for two weeks.

There are mushrooms in the grass, at least two kinds - the tiny pleated brown parasol and a pear-shaped chestnut mushroom that looks nibbled.  Spiders like the azalea bush and there is a very complex web in three dimensions (at least!) with an orb englobed in crazy struts.  The greenish-gold spider is visible in the middle.  Birds are active in the vicinity of the birdhouse but I cannot tell if they are actually going in.  An ill-made squirrel's nest dropped out of the oak tree into the pool.  Fortunately no baby squirrels were evident.

As I was driving home tonight a buttery full moon was rising with wisps of haze making veils around it.
