2133. leaning in

leaning in

ready for the today’s rains 

tiny umbrellas

Tucked away down beside the paved walkway, tiny parasola mushrooms, like the three musketeers leaning in, winking with mischievous smiles, tipping their hats for anyone willing to get down on hands and knees to take their photo.

2132. wait a minute

it’s 90°—

60 pounds of ice melt waiting

hmmm….

 

Just outside the waiting room: Sun’s up. Skies are clear and hot. It’s 90° and there’s 60 pounds of ice melt waiting. Whoa, wait a minute… Is it supposed to snow?  Hey, I know everything changes but, wait a minute! 😆

2131. look! look!

look! look!

humungous fungus 

it’s alive!

 

This mushroom popped up recently on a front lawn in my village. My foot wears a size 9 1/2 shoe and this mushroom is big enough to eat it, but this is nothing. Bigger yet is the world’s largest known fungus. It spans 3-1/2 square miles, about the size of 1600 football fields! It grows mostly underground and is alive and well in Oregon.
