Here’s more of that humble leaf I found on the ground last weekend—the jagged edge.

More interesting tree fungi. It reminds me of one of those skirts that have layered tiers of fabric. Flouncy fungi.

Nice lichen growths on a fallen tree. Nearly infinite material for photos out in the woods.

Here is another image from the woods—a dried leaf on the ground revealing much more character than I realized when it first caught my eye. I have a couple of other views of this same leaf that I may post in the coming days.

Today was a beautiful day for a stroll in the woods. Visual and audio delights abounded (especially when the geese started infighting after invading the ducks’ space on the pond). This image is a close-up of green growth (fungi? lichen?) on a rotting log on the ground; life amid decay.

As I was walking outside this afternoon (hazy sunny and 37 degrees—woo hoo!), a pine cone (several actually) appeared alongside the path. I picked one up and carried it home, where I set it on the snow for a photo shoot. Then I zoomed and cropped on the computer to show a closer view. I like how the cone petals arrange themselves. Nature’s art.
A closer look at the icy snowmelt. This digital photo catches the glints of sun topside, as well as the darker hidden plant and soil (and unmelted snow) below.
A new digital photo of snow and garden near the house. It looks like the middle part is suspended—like a spider on an invisible web. Actually it’s the top part of a dormant plant peeking up through the snow—the only part of the twig that is in sharp focus.
This is a digital photo of icy edges along our driveway. So many forms and patterns and beauty exist in the most ordinary places.
This still life on snow is as I found it yesterday morning. Nature’s design (with some help from a shovel and snowblower, I’m guessing). It reminds me of quiet days gone by.
