Gift of the Rain

Yesterday morning when I walked out into the front yard I began noticing patches of fungi around the yard. These are a beautiful gift of the late rains we received earlier this week here in Northern California.For those of you unfamiliar with California weather it is uncommon to get rain in the summertime except up in the Sierra Mountains.We had four days of rain resulting in some fungi sprouting up in the front yard as well as weeds that I

thought we were done with in the backyard. Looks like it's back to weeding! God's light and love to all, chris

Tis' the Season

It is indeed the season! Now that the rains have come the "Fungi Season" has begun and will probably continue well into late spring and early summer.I have started to see more and more fungi beginning to push themselves up through the forest duff and leaves lately. Here is one that popped up next to a Redwood tree close to our road yesterday afternoon. I loved how it stood out from the dark forest floor. Love and blessings from God to all of you, chris

Fungi Friday

One of the cool things about living in a forest is that after the first few rains all the fungi starts popping up.This continues all the way through until spring. It gives me plenty of opportunity to get down and dirty and crawl around on the forest floor. Today I noticed the first fungi to appear right in my backyard next to the patio.Naturally I had to photograph this significant event.Now I think I'll go take a shower.
God's love and blessings to all,
