Managed to squeeze out a short morning walk during a family weekend trip. Was hot and humid for most of the time, a big overnight downpour made a lot of stuff spring to life!
Some images to share.

All such beautiful images, but the last one "Fungi growing on a bark" has an exceptionally psychedelic feel to it.
It's like a bunch of folks suddenly woke up in the middle of the night, and decided to light up and dance in the dark. :)
