Red

It has been raining in Singapore lately. Not, of course, as much as Chennai – but enough that the patch of grass outside our home is filled with a different fungi each day, and that we can set our clock to the 3:00 monsoon.

These red pinwheel fungi are one of the results of the rain, seen on a rotting log in Lower Pierce Reservoir. Often the most beautiful, delicate things can come from the most crass.
