Nature’s Art #01.
Good morning everyone and welcome back to the art in nature series begun last year. There will be a slight schedule change, it will now be posted Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. At least I’m going to try it on those days for a while, unless I forget. That is always a possibility. And I will be starting to include some winter art as well. It gets daylight so late these days, even though the days are getting longer now, though at a very slow pace. But with the thick cloudy skies that daylight does not arrive early. Even the birds don’t show up until about 8:15 am for the early ones, others don’t show up until 8:30.
However, it’s time for our art in nature pictures…
A puffball mushroom, the exact size of a golf ball. I thought it was a golf ball until I got closer to it. Very cool with a nice pattern of grooves on it’s surface, though they don’t show up very well in the pic.
A large toothed aspen leaf standing on edge in the snow. There was several of them that day. I thought they looked cool with the veining pattern showing up so nicely too.
And there we have a new start for the new year in our art in nature series. I hope you all have a nice weekend and God bless!
Steve and Muffin.

Canada is certainly a big and beautiful country. But I think that every country has it’s beauty. I would love to visit Norway, though I’m quite certain that will not happen.😃😺⛄🌲

Yep, just looked it up, it can be eaten, taste is mild, but only while the inside is still white. Once the inside starts changing color it’s best not to eat it.😃😃🍄
