Autumn and Winter begin to Mingle

appreciating the mushrooms 

 as i studied them 

clear night skies

inspire frost to grace life

sunlight is revealed as tiny sparkling orbs

when mixed with frost

colors dance before our eyes

good medicine

some trees 

naked

the sunlight chooses them to present, show off and reflect

finding new treasures

Basidioradulum radula, Toothed Crust fungus

like an artful mandala

Plicaturopsis crispa, a Crimped gilled Polyporales

this is the underside, the top looks like

it was growing on dead wood:

Autumn's Woodland Treasures

raindrops dress leaves

wasps nest fall from trees

frost and sunlight create magical light

this large hawk landed in my tree

colors, a seasonal delight

daily

i find squirrels treasures in the trees, 

so much fun!
