Nature’s Art #11.
Hello everyone! As I sit here typing I can see out the window, it’s a cloudy day once again, but mild also. There are beautiful snowflakes falling gently again, just like yesterday. Just a few birds out there, some sitting in the bushes, some at the feeder. Just the tiniest birds out there right now, the chickadees, nuthatches and goldfinches. All getting their turn at the food supplied to them. Muffin is in the window watching, but not too interested though. She’s eating her grass right now, for her the most interesting thing at the moment. Now if the squirrel was here, that would definitely get Muffin excited. Squirrels and chipmunks are her favorite. Though birds will excite her if they come close to the window, but they stay over at the feeders and that’s 6.5 feet (about 2 meters) away.
And now for today’s art in nature to enjoy…
I like taking pics of the mushrooms from underneath as the sun hits them from above. This one is a tan colored mushroom about 3 inches (about 7.5cm) across. I don’t know the name however, but I doubt it’s on the edible list.
These mushrooms actually felt like a fuzzy peach and about the same size. They do open completely flat topped however and about 4 to 5 inches (10 to 12.5cm) across.
There is our picks of art in nature for today, I hope you enjoy looking at these different mushrooms and hopefully I can start showing some with names soon. Have a wonderful day and God bless!

Daily Pics 2020…#28.
Good morning everyone! Looks like it will be another mild day, but right now it’s still dark, can’t see the moon or any stars out there. Which can only mean it’s cloudy. But Muffin remains at her window…looking. There was lots of birds at the feeders yesterday morning and it wasn’t snowing at the time so I quickly got my winter clothes on, grabbed my camera, turned it on and…battery was dead. I quickly changed the battery, then went outside and…nothing. Not one bird remained. They were gone. Completely. Then it started snowing. Sigh. So I came back inside, took off my jacket and boots, looked out the window and…lots of birds. It was still snowing lightly but I went back outside and…the birds flew away. Sigh. But not all of them at least, so I did get some pics.😀📷
Now on to the beauty of summer flowers…
I just had to share some more hollyhocks, they are just so bright and sunny, perfect for all these dull cloudy days.
Then there is this flowering shrub. I have no idea what it is and neither did my landlord, though it’s in her yard and she actually planted it many years ago. But it does have a unique cluster of flowers which makes it rather interesting.
That’s it for today’s picks of pics for your enjoyment. I hope you have a wonderful day and God bless!
