Jackpot! 🎰🍄🤗 I was admiring the 🍋🪩 and then I flipped the wood over. #fungifriends

--in which you can better see the eyes and mandibles on the new babies, plus see both structures clearly showing through the shells on the still-unhatched eggs. (Btw, mama earwig was close by in a burrow. She didn't want to come out into the light, so I carefully replaced the rock.)

Got nice and close so I could really see how they got their name. #splitgill #fungifriends

Lunchtime wander. 🤩 #fungifriends

First ever purple!! 💟 #fungifriends

Stop! Breathe. Celebrate you today😌

I was photographing a globular springtail (Dicyrtomina saundersi) in the garden, when a juvenile "elongate" springtail came scurrying into view. Remarkably, they're both reasonably in focus with this single shot. Two for the price of one! #collembola #mesofauna #macro #photograph

The flower gem

“… The leaf has a song in it. Stone is the face of patience. Inside the river there is an unfinishable story and you are somewhere in it and it will never end until all ends. … The song you heard singing in the leaf when you were a child is singing still. …” ~Mary Oliver “What can I say?” 2010

Follow you home

Still at it! 🌸🌱

Such a fun(gi) day! 🍄‍🟫 We’ve had so much rain that there were mushrooms everywhere I looked. 🍁 #fungifriends

Had an unexpected break in the rain so I went treasure hunting. #fungifriends

Sweet little family gathering. 🍄‍🟫 #fungifriends

Over 30 years ago I was introduced to the best tuna melt of my life. The maker of the melt kept the recipe a secret and I’ve wondered about the magic ingredients for years. Tonight, I think I’ve cracked the code. Two words, my friends… sour cream. 😋🤤🥪

My Bigtooth aspen nearly glows near sunset🌳🍁🍂 It grew in sand and full south facing sun for nearly 20 years now. It got giant but kept all its original lower branches intact #Autumn #Trees #NativePlants #Ontario #Canada

We’ve arrived at that lovely time of year my neighbors refer to as: “Why is that lady crawling around in the woods again?” #fungifriends

Another posy. ☺️🌸 Thank you, cosmos!

What a gorgeous day! 🥳✨💖

Made myself a little something. 🌱🌸🥰

No shortage of magic out there. Keep your eyes peeled. ✨ #insects

Worth the wait! 🌸 Standing 8-9 feet tall now, this impressive cosmos has been growing all summer long and chose today to reveal its first bloom. 🌱

Pretty much the only time of year I’ll actually sit in the screen house. It smells soooo good.

Ummm…you’ve got a little something between your teeth. 🍄📸

Late season beauty. 🌱

Had a “no way!” moment today when I spotted another first for me - common puffball. Can’t say it’s been all that common here but maybe it will be from now on. Woohoo!! 🍄📸 🙌

There I was staring at this flower thinking I’d seen the last of the pollinators for this year…
