Grass needs pulling out, leaves shifting. If that's the bottom your garden it's lucky we haven't seen pics of your patio or pointing 😯

I thought this would definitely have been a dogging thread. Possibly involving midgets

Lovely example of Pixie cups. Great find.

And here's a little related story:

Explaining the symbiotic relasionship between the pixie cup and an algae:

There once was a young woman living in the woods who was a great cook, her name is Alice Algae. She lives in a run-down house and has no money to fix it up. One day a young gentleman, called Freddy Fungus, comes along who is a very handy with tools and offers to fix up Alice¹s house in exchange for some of her fine cooking. The simple agreement is made and Freddy repairs the home and Alice feeds Freddy daily while he works. After a short time they both realize that this is a good situation that should last longer. As the story goes, Alice Algae and Freddy Fungus took a "lichen" to each other and lived happily ever after.

And on last week's frozen dog-walk in to the office, I found the miniature Hoth version of your fantasy world.
