As we entered our driveway, it appeared as if buffalo had been grazing in the yard and left some “chips” behind. Even my wife did a double take. Closer inspection of the “excrement” revealed that they were actually clusters of fungi growing over the remains of roots of a tree that had been removed severalContinue reading “Home on the Range?”

HAPPY HALLOWEEN! #halloween #scarecrow #candy
Slip Slidin’
A small snail slid slowly, serenely across the paved, woodland trail. Moisture from nighttime showers smoothed its path across the asphalt. In another hour or so, it might reach the other side, provided that it didn’t fall victim to a passing footstep or a speeding bicycle wheel. #snail #trail #woodlands
Done Waiting
The cardinal had waited patiently for the titmouse to finish her turn at the feeder, but like people in a busy restaurant who have finished their meals, it just sat there in no hurry to leave. The cardinal politely waited for a time, but finally her patience ran out, as the titmouse found out inContinue reading “Done Waiting”
Hidden Mickey
Candles perched behind the bowl like ears and reminded me of a “Hidden Mickey,” so commonly seen at a nearby theme park. I don’t really mind Mickey hiding in our kitchen; in fact I rather like it, so long as he keeps his paws off my candy corn and wine. View Post↗ #hiddenmickey #candycorn #wine
Tricky Treaters
These little bears seem more interested in treating than in tricking; they are a delight in the morning light. Halloween is on its way, and it seems that they can bearly wait. #trickortreat #halloween #littlebears

Suddenly, its primary eyes detected a change in the light and the motion of something coming its way. It shifted slightly in its web, perhaps to get a better view of the person that was approaching since itsContinue reading “Creepy Creature Encounter”
Shroom Town
A round, brown acorn resembling an eyeball gazed without blinking at the tiny mushrooms I found while I was pulling weeds. I eyed them as intently as the acorn in search of little Fairies but found none. Had I discovered any, however, they surely would have been quite dainty. PS: No ‘shrooms were harmed inContinue reading “Shroom Town”
Witchly Watermark
It emerged from the shadows in the early morning twilight, sinister in appearance. Water from the sprinklers had left a mark resembling a foot and leg dangling from a witch who was leaning forward over her broomstick, flying to the right while her robes flared wildly behind. Later, after sunrise the mark appeared more hilariousContinue reading “Witchly Watermark”
Sunlight and Shadows
Sunbeams illuminated the scene and cast transient shadows on the room partition while the metal pumpkin sculpture with its silly grin looked right into the Sun without even squinting. #sunbeams #shadows #pumpkin
