Under the Birch Tree



I went to visit my paper birch tree
spied bright lemon yellow
what could that be?
Wow, a yellow mushroom!
There are three. 

I am enjoying carrying a mirror
so that I can see what mushrooms look like underneath 
without picking them.

I believe they are Yellow Swamp Russula
if you think they are something else, let me know.


 also
Indian pipe are beginning to rise through the earth
such wonderfully interesting plants


found some other wonderful characters
with their super wide lower stems:


I am told they are Field Blewit's
I think of them as little beings.


mornings have been colder than my ponds water
creating wonderful mist dances:


and
this morning I had fawns in my yard, so cute


this mamma had triplets
maybe some day I will get a photo of all three
 ~
sometimes it is hard to leave home
so much happens here

  3. What a treasure! It looks like you live near a fairy forest. Whenever I see mushrooms I think of Peter Pan and the mushrooms above ground were the chimneys for the Lost Boys!

  12. The Indian Pipes made me realize that I need to get out more than I have lately. I've been missing them.
    That's a gorgeous photo of the doe and her fawn. There's nothing prettier!

  13. Dear Tammie - You showed us such fantastic encounters around you, with fungi, mist dance, and the fawn. Carrying a mirror is a nice idea. In Nara Park, not only fawns but also mothers wear reddish coat with spots as their summer coat. Look forward to the photo of the deer family.

  17. Another knock out series of photos. Those little brown mushrooms remind me of stacked rocks. I hope you don't mind that I am going to steal your mirror idea.
