Not Around. Through. - This was a first for me. This little mushroom somehow grew through this hole in the leaf. #photography #macro #macrophotography #fungus #mushroom #nature #leaf #forest #persistence
A macro photograph of a small mushroom that has grown through a hole in a fallen leaf. The hole is very small, and it is apparent that the mushroom had to have grown through, as the head of the mushroom is wider than the hole.

It has been particularly cold in my part of western Scotland the last few days.

Stunning, mysterious and diverse – Australia’s 1700 orchids are the jewels of the country’s flowering plants.

Not only are Australia’s orchids unique in their beauty, they also possess diverse qualities – greenhoods flower in winter and trap unsuspecting fungal gnats to pollinate themselves, while sun orchids have numerous flowers that only open on sunny days.

Whichever one of you ordered all this snow, it's ready for pickup! 😜
Also, I haven't given permisson for snow until December, and even then preferably only for Xmas week, after that I expect spring. But I'm not mad, just disapointed 😂

Woah woah woah. #Wrensday is a thing?! Have I been living under a rock?! 🤯

Here's a sweet Caroline from around this time last year. They have so much personality, I love having them as a part of our frequent visitors to the bird buffet.

an adorable small bird with a perky tail perched on a 2x4. This small bird is mostly brown on top, tan on bottom and white on the chin. It has a super cool white eyebrow and fun eye makeup.

At the end of the beach, I spotted a pair of Oystercatchers, one in pre flight stretching mode.

A zoom view of a pair of Oystercatchers standing on the foreshore on a bed of dried seaweed. They're a black and white seabird with red beak, eye-liner and legs. Both facing left looking seaward, one standing on one leg, with wing closest stretched out revealing the wing feathers. Sandstone boulders fallen from the cliff edges, fill the background.

A walking track behind the beach had a nice surprise.

Waxlip orchids scattered everywhere.

Today is #wednesday and it means I'm posting some #water. Just like most other days. I find it very exciting to look for compositions without any solid objects, like rocks or cliffs. Just by using the fleeting ephemeral beauty of the waves.

Two unusual things happened on Earth around 460 million years ago: a bunch of asteroid impacts near the equator & an intense global cold spell.

Possibly both were the result of an asteroid that broke up & gave our planet a pretty but deadly set of rings.

Earth may have had a set of rings like these some 460 million years ago.

A Close Asteroid Encounter May Have Once Given Earth a Ring

An unusual concentration of impact craters suggests that they may have been caused by the breakup of an asteroid that created a temporary debris ring around Earth.

And yet the sun rises.

The Mycena family of mushrooms are one of my favourites. They're prolific and common, and mostly vary only in colour, but they're consistently cute, and they have a charming love of mossy surfaces.

With the poison ivy leaves out of the way, I was able to get back to the Varnish Shelf mushrooms to log a final photo of this year’s life cycle.

This photo was taken 5 ½ months after the initial photo in this series. It shows the trunk of a hemlock tree with 6 plate like mushrooms growing out of the bark, some at eye level, some knee and ankle level. They are dark maroon and tan, cracked and slightly droopy, their attachment points weakened on the tree. At the base of the tree are autumn leaves and bright green moss.
Same tree and mushrooms from the first photo but now it is 9 days later and the mushrooms have flattened and doubled in size. Less blubby and more plate like. The previous golden yellow has darkened to caramel brown and the white edges have yellowed. The bottoms are still white.
Seven large, flat shelf mushrooms growing out of a standing, dead hemlock. The largest is bigger than my outstretched hand. The tops of the mushrooms and where they attach to the tree are amber brown and they lighten as they get closer to the edge with yellow being the final color. At the base of the tree is a bright green carpet of moss. In the background are green shrubs, ground cover and larger trees.
Closeup of the bottom 5 feet of a hemlock tree with 7 round to blubby polypore mushrooms fruiting out from the bark. The young, tender mushrooms are golden yellow on top and white on the edges and bottom. The tree is in the forest with moss as its base and other trees in the background. The bark of the tree is darkened with rain.

Sharing a few favorites before my social media break that starts Nov 26. I'll be posting a few wood duck photos throughout the day.

I really like this one as this male was swimming gently enough to capture a nearly perfect reflection.

A male wood duck slowly swimming in water so still that you can see the reflection of the duck which has a green head, red eyes and a multi colored bill.
