I can tune my piano. Mostly the strings don’t break. Going for walks is really nice.

These are so beautiful. I have only recently seen any ghost pipe flowers. Pink ones are even more magical!

Pink Ghost Pipe plant at my hometown, Logy Bay, #Newfoundland Canada. Ghost Pipes are most commonly white, but some have pink or even red colouration. Pic from a couple of years ago, in August.

This is absolutely fabulous! I love the ceiling especially. The pine cones and fir tree branches are wonderful!

This is really interesting! It helps me understand a little what empires/kingdoms/cultures were dominant around the world at a given time. Thanks for sharing it.

Very well done: world history from west to east and from 4000 BCE to 2000 AD. Interesting!

This is a lovely story about a scientist and his work discovering more about ghost flowers and other plant/flowers I have never heard of. Raccoon dog’s candlestick!

Came across these Ghost Pipe Flowers today on my walk. I have never seen them before and thought they were some kind of mushroom.Turns out they are flowers but since they have no chlorophyll, they feed parasitically like fungi.

A cluster of a dozen all-white stems with white flower heads hanging down like snowdrops. They are about 4 inches tall and are surrounded by dead branches and a carpet of dried leaves.

Mixed feelings about the holiday :), but the forest was a pleasure to walk through. Got to scramble and cross the stream a few times, which was fun too.

A trail runs through a forest of tall trees. There are 5 trees in the foreground and some tall white trunked trees in the distance. It is very green and lush. The sun is shining on the ground of fallen leaves which has a small stream of water running through it.

Funny how not that long ago coloring books were considered the exclusive domain of children. How times have changed.

A path in the woods leads past a large old tree. The trail, at this spot, is almost paved with large (~ 2 feet long x 2 inches wide )slat-like pieces of bark that have sloughed off the tree.

A path of stony steps leading down to the Potomac River. This is a trail along “Windy Run”. There is a small waterfall off to the right.

A grey sky and a trail of stony steps leads down from under a bridge. A steep, rocky hill is covered with brush and fallen trees. There is a barely visible small waterfall with many broken trees at the bottom of it, washed down by heavy rains.

Beautiful sunset tonight in Arlington, VA
Hundreds of very small clouds at sunset- almost like an enormous school of tropical fish or a fractal drawing. Brilliantly pink and beautiful.
