Steve`s Country
For a smile as wide as a country sunrise
Nature’s Art, #23.
Hello everyone! It is such a beautiful sunny day, although a bit cooler. Still, it is very nice weather for the end of February. Perhaps Muffin’s forecast of an early spring will turn out to be correct! That would certainly be nice if it’s true. Speaking of Muffin, she is enjoying her nap in the sun again. And probably dreaming of the time when the chipmunks will be back. I spoke too soon, she’s awake now and looking for something to eat. She always likes a little snack when she wakes up, not a lot, but she likes to nibble a bit after time in the sun. It’s also nice to sit here right now with the sun shining on me as I type. There is a few chickadees and purple finches at the feeders right now, getting their last meal of the day before they head across the street to sit in the pines for the night. I’m looking forward to walking down to the river once again and getting some spring pictures once the snow clears off the path.
But for now we will look at some pics from last year…
This is a really cool little mushroom that I thought would be easy to identify, but so far I haven’t been able to do so.
This one is a single mushroom, stem in the center, but almost split in two. I like to call it a butterfly mushroom. I haven’t tried to identify this one yet and though it looks like an oddity, it wasn’t the only one I found in this shape.
So there we have our art in nature pics for today. Sorry I’m a bit slow getting these posts out today. Hopefully things will be more normal tomorrow. I hope you all have a wonderful day and God bless!
Steve and Muffin.

Steve, I appreciate the photos. I am looking forward to taking spring pics, too. The winter here has been a bust, unless one enjoys photos of the rain.

Thanks so much! Yes, spring is so close yet still seems so far away, but the weather is much better now which helps a lot. Rainy days don’t provide good pictures with my little camera. Enjoy your evening!

Isn’t it good to take a look back on previous seasons and nature’s beauty? What would we do without photography?

Thank you so much Ribana! An oddity mushroom for sure.🤔🍄 I’m not sure if it’s supposed to be that way, but since I found several in different places it makes me wonder.
Thanks, enjoy your day and stay safe!😃😺🍄☕

The mushroom does look like a butterfly ! So Muffin likes a snack when she wakes…does her human do the same ?😸🍰☕️🍪
