Nature’s Art, #26.

Orange jelly fungus.

Hello once again everyone!  Nice to see all of you again on this snowy Tuesday.  Not too much snow however, only about 1 1/2 inches (about 4cm) of new whiteness out there.  But more to come tomorrow with another 4 inches (10cm) of snow.  Then some more nice weather to follow, then back to more snow on the weekend.  In other words, kind of typical March winter weather.  The birds are very busy today, that is also typical after some new snow, birds tend to head for feeders in snowy weather where they can find easy to get food.  They are smart.  Speaking of smart, Muffin is hungry so I better get her something to eat, before something happens to my feet.  Again.

And here we are sharing some more nice mushrooms…

Here we have a black-footed polypore, a tough mushroom, not the best for eating though not poisonous.IMG_7963

Another tiny mushroom, less than half an inch, about 1 cm across.  It’s a very common mushroom around here, not sure of the name however or if it can be eaten.  They are so small it would take a lot of them for a meal anyway.

And that is a look at today’s art in nature.  I really hope you have a wonderful day and God bless!

Sir George, the herring gull. He should be back sometime this month.

Good morning everyone!  It’s a nice morning, cloudy but not too cold and a few snowflakes drifting down.  Muffin was up early this morning, seems to have a bit more energy than normal.  Guess she must have slept most of the night, that always does it.  March, the month when spring seems to be so close and yet so far away.  Muffin has been wanting the inside door open, she likes to sit on a chair by the screen door and look outside, waiting for chipmunks.  I told her it’s still too early yet.  She hasn’t been too happy about that.  She wants that door open.  I say no.  I won the argument.  But my feet are complaining.  This will continue most of the month I’m sure, or until the warmer weather arrives.  And stays.

Here are today’s bright and sunny pics to enjoy…

What can be brighter and sunnier than this male goldfinch?  I have noticed many of the winter goldfinches are starting to get their spring colors.  Still a long ways to go yet, mostly it’s the wings that are getting their black and white markings and the yellow is starting to show up more too.IMG_3487

Even the female goldfinch is quite bright and sunny too.  There we have our pics for the day, hopefully you enjoyed them.  I hope your day is nice and sunny!  God bless!
