The poppy (Papaver rhoeas) is an annual plant of red and solitary flowers, common in cereal fields where it often simulates large carpets. Its presence is an unequivocal signal that good weather is already close.

REPRODUCTION CAPSULES

The capsules of the mosses, supported by a stalk that often allow their feeding, contain the spores that will give rise to a new generation when they are released.

The Catalan wall lizard (Podarcis liolepis) shows such agility to climb logs and walls when looking for refuge, food o sunlight, which sometimes seems to do so to have fun.

A STUFFED SPUR

The upper petals of the violet flowers present a spur that accumulates the sweet and nutritious nectar that will serve as food for pollinator insects.

TIME TO REST

FAMILIY OF MUSHROOMS

Olympus E-M10 Mark III, M. Zuiko ED 60mm macro, f8, 1/80s, ISO 400

Produced by a single mycelium, some mushrooms may arise in groups that show specimens with different growth states. In this particular case, they remind me of a father, mother and all his offspring.


Produïts per un únic miceli, alguns bolets poden sorgir en grups que mostren exemplars amb diferents estats de creixement. En aquest cas particular em recorden un pare, la mare i tota la seva descendència.
