A daily Lichen for those interested.

Category: My wildlife images | Posted: Tue Nov 05, 2013 10:11 pm

For those interested in in what goes on in the woods etc. besides trees, I will post a lichen here each day. If I don't forget and not away somewhere. They all don't grow hanging from the trees, like moss they grow everywhere. Here is a strange one to get us started, Devil's matchstick, Pilophorus acicularis.

Its mushroom season.

Photographed this great group of Gomphus floccosus, the Woolly chanterelle, yesterday. I now have over 260 species of fungi photographed. Would have a lot more but don't have the names for them, someday though.

Robin calls for the berries.

Category: My Garden Birds | Posted: Tue Sep 24, 2013 7:25 pm

There are a few robins in the garden, seeing off the berries on a mountin ash. I do save a lot of the berries for later in the winter when there is not much around for them. This is the female of course.
