Mom’s boring nature photos

As Bella predicted, I am now going to bore you with the flip side of the photos that I took on our walk this weekend: not dogs!

The sun is so low in the sky this time of year. It helped to enhance the already somewhat creepy mood that hangs over Jungle Habitat where exotic animals used to roam.

With all our rain and moderate temperatures fungi still flourish. These were still soft and pliable, so they were new.

The moss likes the moisture too.

We have many kinds of parasitic vines here. They wrap around trees and take them prisoner. I find them eerie.

We might not have snow but at least for the past few days we’ve had colder temps that allow some frost.

And some ice to form in leaf-filled shallow puddles.

That first mushroom picture looks like what they call turkey tail. Here’s the wikipedia page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trametes_versicolor otherwise known as fungi of several colors.

I love the picture of the leaf in the ice you’re using for your header pic. The leaf looks like jewelry.

You look to have some interesting countryside to walk in - the trees are very spooky looking. I like the ice photos and the moss is beautiful.
