Shrooms

I saw the sod sticking up and went to investigate. Wow, those are huge!

Puffball Macro Monday

Puffballs are popping up everywhere.  This one is about the size of a softball.





This one is bigger than a head, but it looks like a face, don't ya think?  The smaller puff being the nose and maybe the stick is his cigar, lol.

Macro Monday is easy to play, snap a macro (or any close-up) photo, post it on your blog and come back here and sign MckLinky. :) MM started on Sept 29, 2008 - THANX to all of you for helping make it such a fun start to the week!

It never ceases to amaze me all the colors and shapes available in nature!

It seemed this huge fungus sprouted up overnight. No color one day and glowing vibrantly the next!

Hanging onto summer

We have a volunteer pumpkin plant by our front porch. It looks like the seed came from a small white pumpkin we had last year. They are really cute - and little but I don't think they're going to make it. - Actually it snowed pretty much all day yesterday, so now I know they won't make it - I did manage to snap some photos of our pumpkin before I picked it.

Dennis and Haden got me a couple of roses for Mother's day and they have been blooming like crazy all summer!  They're still full of buds, but ummmm, SNOW!  Yep, we had snow - October 12th - that's the earliest we've ever had snow.

One of our little potted flowers on the back patio where I spent most of the summer blogging.

There're some flowers in the woods across from our house too.

Well, there isn't now, but there was last month when I snapped these.

And many kinds of fungus.

Doesn't this look like some sort of sea coral?

I see this as a spiral staircase.

A bugle. Wonder what sound it would make.

An orange on a stem?

A Ferris wheel for ants.

And a fairy's umbrella.
