Still cold

Once again the creek was full of lovely reflections.  A blue jay joined us for breakfast.  A squirrel made the great leap to the redwood.  Other than that, I saw chickadees, a cardinal, geese and mallards.  The sun spotlighted flying insects.  The few I could identify were brown moths, but others appeared bigger.   I re-found the fungus I thought might be a puffball.  Near it were dark gray russulas.  The big polypore rosette seemed to have shrunk a little.  More peppers were turning red.  I thought I saw a black cat in the top of the maple tree.  But it turned out to be the tree behind the maple looking dark and fuzzy in the camera.
