Changing Season

A web dressed in morning dew.

When the colors of summer and early fall fade sometimes the brightest thing in the woods is a log with fungus.  The white shines with the rusts, browns and black in background.

Night time temps fall and so the plants come in, soon they will yellow and fade too.  They would rather be outside in the sun.

The pretty pink and white hanging petunia is still a beauty outside.  I love fall but it's bittersweet, winter is on it's way.  Enjoy the color this season of change.

In the woods . . .

I walked in the woods this morning.   It's been a banner year for fungus - everywhere you see big and little mushrooms growing where ever they can get ahold.  This find was the coolest; thought I would never see this in our woods - Indian Pipes!  I've seen them called 'ghosts of tulips past' - I love that description, the scientific name is Monotropa uniflora.
