Our Spell of Rain has Broken

near sunset

sunlight poured through a parting of clouds

and 

alpine glow happened on this handful of trees

in the cloak of the forest

witch's butter oozes from old wood

( Dacrymyces chrysospermus)

I found my first teeny tiny

sphere thrower fungi

(see that clear jelly ball? it gets thrown from it's cup)

above is another view of this tiny scene

(Sphaerobolus stellatus, sphere thrower)

the fungi continue to pop up 

(Suillus Grevillei, tamarack Jack)

a friend, spur of the moment, took us up in his plane

autumn looked beautiful from the sky!

Thank you Bill!
