After many rainy days we had a short break before a typhoon would set in and that happened to be this morning. So lucky! Not knowing when I would get a chance again I overloaded the memory card on my Nikon. Pfff. Hence all these photos. But some, for example the mushrooms, were really worth it. They don't last long.

Cute little spiders in autumn, ワキグロサツマノミダマシ, Wakiguro Satsumanomidamashi.
What a long name for such a tiny spide. It is the size of a pea. Should be called Pea spider 😁

Many birds that were attracted by the freshly cut grass and the insects that appeared circled around the field where the man at work were using there cutting machines. There were several swallows and martins. Below Red-rumped swallows, コシアカツバメ
