A bit of sketching for #mushroommonday. #sketchbook #fungi
An opened sketchbook showing fungi sketches and drawings. The hand written text on the right page says “Shaggy scalycaps. The same ones found on Fruin Avenue but a week later. They have lost their scales, likely from the storm and exposure.”

Happy birthday to my older sister, @karensime.bsky.social, who is indeed older than me! 🎂
An old photo of my sister and I as little children, Karen is on the left wearing an age 4 badge, wearing a red outfit and holding a doll. I’m on the right with a blue dress and holding one of Karen’s birthday cards, although it looks like I’m bashing it. Karen looks happy that it’s her 4th birthday. I look a combination of confused and miffed.
