#Nature #FungiFriday #Fungi #Mushrooms #Pilze #Mosstodon

Ground level view of a small embankment of bright green moss growing in the forest floor with dried leaves in the foreground. Poking out of various spots in the moss are 7 bright orange/yellow mushrooms. They are umbrella shaped with bright caps with a slightly more pale border. The stems are mostly the same size as the borders and their bottoms disappear into the wall of moss at varying angles. One of the mushrooms has aged to the point that its cap is exposing the gills on its underside.

We just took a little overnight trip through the spectacular colors of Autumn here in New Mexico a couple of days ago. Here is a tiny taste of what I will share ahead although not taken in NM, rather Utah for the taste. The most beautiful Fall colors I thinik I have ever seen here in NM.

The image captures a serene autumn scene along a forest path lined with tall aspen trees. The trees are dressed in golden-yellow leaves, creating a canopy that fills the sky with brilliant color. The forest floor and the path are covered with fallen leaves, forming a golden carpet that adds texture to the ground. The bark of the aspen trees is pale with dark markings, giving each trunk a unique, almost textured appearance. The sky peeks through the trees in shades of blue, contrasting with the vibrant yellows. The scene feels tranquil and warm, evoking the quiet beauty of a sun-drenched autumn afternoon in nature. The path seems inviting, as if leading deeper into the colorful grove.

At Horseshoe Bend, the Colorado River curves around a towering sandstone butte, its emerald waters contrasting with the sunlit red cliffs. The late afternoon light and steep canyon walls emphasize the power and beauty of this dramatic landscape.

At Horseshoe Bend, you would feel the vastness of the landscape through the immense drop-off of the cliff. The sandstone butte stands tall in the middle, its surface rough and warm from the sun. The air is filled with a quiet stillness, broken only by the faint sound of the river below, curving smoothly in a wide arc around the rock formation. The canyon walls are steep and rugged, with the sensation of space opening up all around you, as if the land stretches endlessly in every direction. The warmth of the sun contrasts with the coolness of the shaded areas along the bend.

The robin is a welcome visitor to my garden and always inspires me to create new paintings.

Since new readers have arrived here, I think I should introduce myself again. My name is Berta, I am a Spanish-Ecuadorian #philosopher and #artist. I am especially interested in the transition from #nature to #cultures, #mythology, #religion, and #symbolism. In my current #photography project, I am reconstructing the myth of Persephone.

Towering sandstone walls in Zion’s Narrows rise in deep reds and browns, framing the Virgin River as it winds through polished rocks and pools. Lush greenery clings to the canyon’s edges, providing a vibrant contrast to the rugged cliffs. Soft light filters through, illuminating the peaceful beauty of Zion’s Wall Street—a place where nature’s grandeur feels both serene and overwhelming.

The scene captures a narrow canyon called Wall Street in Zion National Park, where towering sandstone walls rise steeply on both sides. The cliffs are textured with rugged, uneven surfaces and colored in deep reds, oranges, and browns. Between the walls, the Virgin River flows gently over smooth rocks, creating soft splashes and ripples. Along the riverbank, patches of green plants and small trees cling to life, adding a vibrant contrast to the rocky surroundings. Light filters through the narrow opening above, casting a soft glow on the canyon walls and creating a peaceful, enclosed feeling, as if standing in a quiet, ancient place carved by water over millennia.

Spotted a bird nest while in the orchard. Tucked inside was a young bird that definitely had not fledged. 😂

#Nature #Apples #Orchard #NewEngland #BirdNest

Closeup of a bird nest built in the crook of a twisted macoun apple tree. The nest is about 4 niches high and made from strips of dried plant material and mud. Sitting in the nest is an apple that has its upper half visible, its lower half presumably in the nest. The apple is a perfect size for the nest. In the foreground is another two apples that are rotting. In the background are green apple leaves and several apples still on branches.
