Social Distancing, Isolation V and Weird Creatures Observed

This puff ball fungus has been growing in our drive for the last couple of weeks and it amazes me no one has driven over it.Just goes to show that isolation is working here doesn't it...
 The black surrounding it  though, was an earlier one and has now left a stain in the form of  map of Australia with Tasmania just below it....
How these living plants (is a fungus a plant?) manage to push their way through such tightly compacted earth is a mystery to me. 

 The other weird thing I found was this creature floating in the fish bowl one morning a few days ago.It didn't seem to be alive but it did look like a bug of some sort. A little later another one appeared so I took a photo of that one next to a match stick to show its size.
There have been no more since and I now wonder if it is actually a seed from the Ludwigia
branch I stuck in the fishbowl to give the two little fish something other than their yellow plastic plant to look at....

 Last week too, I found this weird , dumpy little moth clinging to the kitchen window one morning and popped it into a plastic container to photograph and then carried it outside and put it on the vine. It was quite pretty with lovely warm, brown colours and cute little antennae.
It would have made a nice little breakfast for a magpie but I hope it survived and lived to full fill its purpose in life. Probably to lay eggs on some poor plant for them to hatch and chew holes in it...

 The  mornings have been so still and beautiful I couldn't resist taking a photo of the little mermaid's reflection surrounded by all the blue coffee mugs that leak and the jug which is a haven for bugs. The cement frog was a gift from a dear friend who also loves frogs.
I tried to crop the photo which I thought I had successfully done, but then couldn't find it in the gallery, so the picture is wider than it is meant to be.

One of our friends visited yesterday, now that restrictions are being lifted somewhat, to come and walk through our garden and brought us these glorious golden Chrysanthemums.
I adore Chrysanthemums and found some cuttings with roots on the Post Office porch where people sometimes leave produce from their gardens. I left some quinces there the other day. So I took these cuttings home and have planted them in the old rose garden and look forward to some wonderful flowers ...eventually..
