The bright, white bloom in the center of greenery had us wondering just what sort of flower it might be. Then it became obvious; it was a mushroom in the middle of a plant, not a flower. I doubt that this was intentional, but if mushrooms had a sense of humor, it surely would haveContinue reading “Faux Flower Fungus”

Bright Sprite
Sunrays through the doorway projected a bright image that reminded me of a Fairy, or perhaps an angel, on the living room floor. However, I prefer to think of it as a Fairy; she’s a lot more fun than any angel. #sprite #bright #angel #fairy
Carcasses
These cars have come to the end of the road and appear to be on their way to an automotive cremation. All is not lost, however, for their metal will be recycled and perhaps some of it will be reincarnated. #autos #endoftheroad #reincarnated #cremation
Fuzzy Farm
When I discovered these furry crop of mushrooms in the backyard, I couldn’t help laughing over my fuzzy little farm. #fuzzyfarm #mushrooms
Mel Odorous
This curious little bug watched as I cleaned some cocoons from the door jam. For some reason I left it alone, other than take its picture. Good thing. I later found out that it is Euthyrhynchus floridanus, aka Florida predatory stink bug. I’m really glad that I didn’t find out how it got its name.Continue reading “Mel Odorous”
Not a Truck
Of course it’s not a truck; it’s a c-a-r! It says so right on the license plate. #car #notatruck #licenseplate

In 1935, Ma Barker made the mistake of mentioning that they were looking for “Old Joe,” aka “Gator Joe” in a letter to one of her sons in prison. Local authorities were aware of a large alligator by that moniker, and legend has it that this was one of the clues that led to herContinue reading “Gator Got ‘er”
Ah, Capella!
The bright star, Capella, rested in a notch in the clouds in the morning twilight as seen in the main photo as well as in the insert. It gleamed like a beacon of reassurance that the hot weather will not last forever. In a couple of weeks, Orion too, will rise above the dark, morningContinue reading “Ah, Capella!”
Uninvited Guests
We awoke early one morning to the pitter patter of little, furry feet in the ceiling over our bedroom. With flashlight in hand I walked around the outside of the house and discovered how the critter had entered our attic. Sounds of scurrying paws over the roof led me to believe that a racoon wasContinue reading “Uninvited Guests”
Little Big Moon
Early one morning the Moon showed its mountains, volcanoes, craters, and cracks through my backyard telescope in great detail. Later I turned the scope towards Saturn, which was about 10 degrees ahead of the moon, and inserted its photo in the image above for comparison. Both are at the same magnification. Saturn shows its famousContinue reading “Little Big Moon”
