Half-Hidden



Often those things which give most pleasure are those you nearly miss, partly hidden by other plants or in the case of animals consciously hoping to avoid discovery. Fungi are a good example and they are pretty unmanageable despite the best efforts of some to tame them and bring them to heel. Once we protested at the way trees had been cut down in woodland and then severed trunks placed carefully so that the cut ends faced onto the path. We were told this was so that passers by could enjoy the fungi that would probably appear there. Somehow it was unlikely to have the same appeal.
