Pictures of things that caught my eye. All images are mine unless it's a repost or stated otherwise.
No money requests. No hitting on me. No shady offers to buy other people's images from me (!!). No flirty messages from young ladies, lol. Thank you.

Posted especially for Mike’s mom. This photo was taken on May 6, 2025, of some Woolly Sunflowers basking in the sunlight on my hillside in Northern California. These were the most prolific flowers on my property this year. #wildflowers #photography #nature #NorthernCalifornia

Gentiana asclepiadea - Willow Gentian
In the N Hemisphere the winter days are shortening quickly. I think it's time for something bright. Willow gentian should have finished flowering by now but you may find some seed pods.

Some late season hoary tansyaster blooms providing a little color after all the leaves have fallen.

Mycena tenerrima from Pacific County, Washington. This tiny and widespread Mycena is in Mycena sect. Sacchariferae due to the powdery cap texture, stem with long setae and disc at the stem base.

A fungus photo a day: First powdercap/Cystoderma amianthinum of the season yesterday. You can see why they got that name from the texture of the cap. The fancy sheath around the stipe is described as “granular” or “flaky” but I just call it fancy. #fungifriends #fungi #mycology #naturephotography

I guess you can grow these at home as a food source. I found this high in the timber. It's called a Yam Daisy.

"Glass Needle"
A friend of mine visited a few years back and we went to the Chihuly Garden and Glass exhibit at the Seattle Center, and I loved the framing of the brightly colored glass with the overcast rainy sky and the Space Needle.
