A grassy cemetery with fallen leaves, ringed by mature trees such as evergreens & maples, with some blue peeking out from behind the clouds in the sky

The pastel green-yellow back of a fallen leaf, with a pleasingly curvy, flame-like shape and a yellow stem, resting on the green grass

Three golden yellow mushrooms, from left to right: a small one, a brand new tiny baby one, and lastly one between those two sizes. Their caps are shiny. They are growing on a wet brown wood fence in the company of moss I do not know the name of this mushroom

It’s not a great picture but this is what they look like now
Two dollops of black goo with some remaining tubular texture to the outside, sticking to the inner bark of a wet, decaying log. They are hard to make out they blend in so well. There’s some orange fir debris in the lower right corner

Any guesses as to what these are? Bug eggs? A type of fungus? #insects #macrophotography #FungiFriends #entomology
Two clusters of oblong white shapes like grains of rice in a tight grouping, on rotting wood. There’s a pink center to the upper cluster. There are some tiny black spots at the tip of some of them. They might be bug eggs?

At the top of the image a chute is rapidly emptying a large volume of water into a creek with a rocky, fern-covered bank. The photo is taken from a bridge that crosses the creek and has a flourishing bright green fringe of ferns of its very own

This little brown mushroom is growing a beard 🤔

#MushroomMonday #FungiFriends
A small brown-capped mushroom growing in a field of moss & grass. Cottony white filaments are emanating from the outer edge of the mushroom cap, which are anchoring it to its green surroundings on the left. There were other similar mushrooms nearby but this was the only one with the filaments; maybe it’s mycelium, spiderweb, or some other bug activity? I do not know the name of this little brown mushroom

Black fingers of fungus with white tips are growing from underneath the bark remaining on a very large, old stump like a sort of fringe … or maybe snaggly teeth I have seen this called candlesnuff fungus

Another fallen mushroom, another slug opportunist #MushroomMonday #FungiFriends #PNW
A large, cream-colored fallen mushroom with beige-gold & black splotches on what used to be the cap rests on brown leaf litter. The stalk is bent and just between the bend and the cap is a small brown slug

#MonochromeMonday #autumn #foliage If I ducked through here I’m sure I wouldn’t find a pocket dimension or other liminal space no siree
A narrow but passable opening between two tall slender white barked trees leads to a passage beneath some evergreens into a bright patch beyond. The ground is liberally strewn with fallen leaves

I’ve been surprised by how many of my mushroom photos have a secret slug in them that I didn’t even notice at the time

This one isn’t hiding

Dignity? Reserve? Not as good as tummy rubs tbh

#StreetPet #dog
A cream-colored retriever type dog tied by a red leash to the patio railing at a coffee shop. The dog’s lying on their tummy with head, shoulders, and forepaws are entering the frame from the right. They’re making eye contact with the viewer, with a polite yet hopeful expression in their big dark eyes A cream-colored retriever type dog on a red leash, splayed on its back on the pavement, eyes closed & grinning while receiving a tummy rub. The dog’s entering the frame from the right. This dog’s blissed out & has no dignity whatsoever
