This Hawaiian Fishpond Is Nearly Restored. All That’s Missing Is Fresh Water The HeΚ»eia Fishpond relies on fresh water to create the right conditions to raise fish for the community, but the stream that feeds into it was diverted 85 years ago.

Growing in front of a lichen-covered stick, a slightly bent mushroom grows. Its stipe is smooth and shiny, going from yellownat the bottom to green at the cap. Its cap is a bright green which ranges from light on the left side to dark on the right. Blurred greens and oranges obscure the bottom front of the photo. This mushroom is a about three inches tall.

If only these amazing yellow and green mushrooms (Gliophorus psittacinus) tasted like apple or something... 🍏🍬 Then I'd eat 'em

I got chased by a sandhill crane a few summers ago. They’re very protective of their young. It was the most terrifying experience! Those things are very viscous, lol. I can imagine how scary they’d be at night!
