Ooh! Get you and your arty farty photos.
I love the colours.
Thanks! The things you do when you live on the edge of the woods. 😉
Nice! Fall delights… 🙂
And a banner year for mushrooms. My goodness! I’ve never seen so many on our lawn.
Beautiful photos, delightfully composed. I’ve noticed fun mushrooms lately too. Thank you for featuring our humble and charming companions!
Many thanks! My pleasure.
Really good. Incredible how intricate nature is.
Thank you, thank you!
So pretty, Laurie — thanks for sharing.
Thanks, Debbie!
“tis fungi season!
It certainly is! A banner one this year in Maine.
Beautiful! Nature is a wonderful artist…as are you! 😀
Thank you, thank you!
Very nice!
Pretty.
Quite beautiful and a wonderful way of showing the changing of the season next to the woods. I really enjoy the photographs you feature of your environment, Laurie.
Oh, thanks so much, Anne!
Beautiful collages Laurie! 🧡🍂
Many thanks!
How lovely. I thought the first one was a flower.
In a way, it is. Hens and chicks with a mushroom growing between them. Nature’s arrangement. Unlike the other photo, which featured Laurie’s arrangement. 😉
I’ve never seen so many mushrooms in the landscape as I have this year.
Same here. And so far, not that many acorns. Is this true for you in New Hampshire?
I haven’t seen as many, but I read that they were calling it another mast year. We have seen lots of dead squirrels on the road but not quite as many as we did a couple of years back.
Interesting! To me, it seems as though there are far fewer ones this year. We shall see as the season progresses.
‘Collage’ is exactly the right word. Nature arranges, and we re-arrange; in both cases, the result is beauty.
Yes, yes. Nature arranged the hens and chicks and mushroom. Laurie arranged the leaf, acorn, and mushrooms. 😉
Thank for the mushroom photos, they are lovely!
Thanks so much!
These are both very cool.
Thanks, Dawn!
You have reminded me that I ought to see if there are any field mushrooms on the farm next door! There were loads a couple of years ago. There are plenty of the inedible types around – such lovely shapes and colours. I particularly like the waxcaps which are scarlet and shiny.
Always fun to look at all the different mushrooms. Northern New England seems to be having a bumper crop this year. My front yard is dotted with various types.
Beautiful autumn photos, Laurie. You have captured the mood and spirit of the season.
It is chanterelle time out here, and I’ve been buying them at the farmers’ market. Cooked with garlic in olive oil with a little salt and pepper, they are wonderful topping for a linguine side dish on a cold autumn night..
Thanks, Lavinia! I’ve never had chanterelles, but I long to try them. Someday! I’ve never seen them at our farmers’ markets.
Such beautiful photos, Laurie. I especially liked the succulant and the pink mushroom. What beautiful geometry. 🙂
Thanks so much!
Great photos. I love the look of mushrooms, but don’t know enough about them to i.d. them. The other day, I took a pic of a mushroom I often see when walking in the woods. Looking it up at home, I found it was a “destroying angel”. Totally poisonous. But it looked so sweet….;-)

Same here. I only admire them from afar.
Your hens and chicks have adopted a mushroom as a chick.
Tee-hee! Perfect.
Lovely!

Mushrooms are amazing life forms! And they taste very good too!
Indeed they do!
Wonderful photos, especially loved the first shot!🙂
