Every Winter our front lawn gets covered in patches of Fuligo septica – aka dog vomit slime mold. It looks like a party happened in the night and everyone vomited all over the lawn. It is bizarre stuff and can move around (though not visibly, very slowly). We have it in two shades – white and yellow. It took me quite a while to find out what it was from googling a description. I have never seen it on anyone else’s lawn in the neighbourhood which just makes it worse. I feel like people who walk past are judging my filthy lawn.

365 day photo challenge June 17
No wonder I woke up cold in the night a few times. It got down to -6. There was a thick frost over most of the city and our front lawn stayed white all day. Not the best photo but who wants to hang about in weather like that?
