Fungi Neighborhoods

Once upon a time a tiny spore blew into the moss and lichen neighborhood.  Not one moss pulled up roots and moved.  Not one lichen opened their mouth in protest. They grew and prospered together. 

 Like kind grew closer

but in the end the organisms made up their collective minds to favor cohabitation in peace and harmony.

May humans take a lesson from Nature.

She's been at it far longer and know it's a workable solution.

Making Much Of My Mushrooms

Compiled by the amazing Sandra, the marvelous Madsnapper

using my photos and her boundless talent.

Thanks, Sandra.

Into The Woods

is where I go for peace

There is always something to see

that tells me

that, at least here,

there is balance and life.

Reflecting on my blessings

Admiring the beauty in the small things.

Exploring Natural Vegetation

 Indian Turnip?

 or Ginseng?

Fungi and no, Alex, I don't know what kind of fungi!

Flip Flop Adventure In The Hundred Acre Plus Woods

It was a good day for an adventure.

A painted reptile on the ground

sent the terrapin (box turtle) on it's way

and this is what we found

Could it be Big Foot's track?

Was I on its trail?

I tried to follow closely

but lost him when I fell

We happened upon a dead fall tree

where something had scratched and dined

We thought it's time to leave the woods

And see what else we could find

Then we met the water snake

so glad we were on land

Gail left in a hurry

and we were kicking sand

Wordless Wild Things

Happy Halloween!

In death there is life

Crystal And Mushrooms...

Crystals and fungi
Lay on a log
First they were silent
Then came dialog

Shrooms spoke first
Offering a prophetic scene
Crystal counter-offered
With a clarifying dream

Neither vision was truthful
Both of them lied
Each could deliver a trip
But it could be the last ride
