Found a cool spider.

A web making spider with black and white stripes legs and a yellow, black and red body. I don’t know the species because I could only see the bottom.

Six years ago today 🌿

Aseroe rubra, the Anemone Stinkhorn Fungus, thrives on the rot of the forest floor on the Waihe’e Ridge trail. One of the stranger things I’ve seen, it should be called the Mind Flayer I think.
Weird red tentacled nightmare of a fungus

Rosette Pyxie Cup Lichen (Cladonia pocillum). NWT, Canada.
#lichen #fungi #fungifriends
Photo of a lichen that consists of (a) a base (growing on the ground) that looks like a mound of shiny, light green corn flakes, and (b) several podetia growing up from the base that look like grey golf tees. The top of the tees are ringed with tiny red beads. Inside the tee tops are a bunch of tiny, blue-green discs.

A single full bloom of a Gay Paree peony. The petals in the centre are a delicate pale pink and the outer leaves are a darker shade of pink. The stamens are hidden under the petals in the center. The bloom is surrounded by narrow green leaves and there are a few small buds in the upper left corner of the photo.

Photo of a lichen which consists of green cornflake-like structures growing flat on the ground with tiny green tubes growing upward from the “flakes”. The tubes are mostly off-white with peach-pink tops.

No mushrooms in my local park just yet, but here’s an ant on a crocus.
#insects #flowers #spring
A picture taken inside a purple and white striped crocus flower, with an orange middle part (the plant genitals part, idk what it’s called in English). On one of the petals sits an ant.

Sheet cake. Icing was a tad thick. Followed the recipe exactly but just have to modify the consistency next time. Think it’s the difference between weight and volume measurements.

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F.

18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it.

We made this website to tell our story:

Yay. It’s time to make the very traditional scotched-up Irish Norwegian-American rip-off stroganoff. I’m sure it’d make a proper Slav cry but I added in some dill and it’s pretty tasty with the mushrooms and sour cream.

More bread. Looks a bit better this time because I had a little bit of butter to put on top. Looking forward to getting outside when it gets warmer.

Hope to have a lot of interesting pictures soon.
