Steve`s Country
For a smile as wide as a country sunrise
Nature’s Art, #19.
Hello everyone! How are you on this beautiful Saturday? Hopefully you will be able to relax a bit and enjoy the world around you. There is so much out there for us to enjoy. Go for a walk in a park, or in a country location, or just in your own neighborhood. For many of us winter is still here so what is there to see when going for a walk? Everything is dormant now until spring when all the trees and plants burst into life again. But just stop and listen while you are out there. Here the birds chirping as they fly among the trees and shrubs. Look at all the amazing branches of the trees, empty of leaves, but drawing a beautiful picture against the bright blue sky. How about an evening walk where you can look up, perhaps see some stars and definitely see that amazing moon. There is much beauty around out there, we just need to see it.
And that means our new look at some of the art in nature…
First we have this very nice pure white mushrooms. I found a lot of these in one small area last year along my path. They were very bright and really stood out among the pine needles on the ground.
And here we have a couple more white mushrooms though a lot different than the first one. The largest of these two is 7 inches (17.5cm) tall and 5 inches (12.5cm) across the top. These were the only 2 I saw of this variety. I’m still trying to identify it.
But both of these varieties of mushrooms definitely help to provide some art in nature for us. The abundant varieties, colors, sizes and shapes really adds beauty and art, not only out in the forest, but can even show up in our own yards at times. Well, I do hope you all have a fantastic weekend and God bless!

Daily Pics 2020…#46.
Good Saturday morning to everyone! It’s a bit snowy here this morning but milder at least. That’s going to change again though with the temp dropping out of sight again tonight and cold weather hanging around for a few days. But spring keeps getting closer. Still far away, but closer anyway. The birds were sure busy yesterday, they ate a lot of food. There was a lot more of them around too. Muffin’s cabin fever is getting worse. She’s getting bored with the normal schedule. That happens this time of year, winter is just a little too long for her. She likes open windows and chipmunks to watch. She was helping me clean up the apartment yesterday. At least, I think that’s what she was trying to do. It was hard to tell at times. But I will write about that another time.
For now it’s time for our look at some nice summer pics once again…
And we will start with this beautiful pink peony beginning to open on a sunny early summer day in June.
Followed by another nice darker pink hollyhock. I don’t think I have shown this one before, but if I did, pretend that I didn’t.😂😹
Well, a bit of a pink theme today, maybe I should have done that yesterday. Oh well, that’s me, I like to be different. I hope you all have a beautiful weekend and God bless!
