Family affair

Family affair

One of the things I love with autumn is all the mushrooms that popps up among the falling leafs. You can pass the same spot one day and the next day they suddenly appear. A few days later they are gone again. They seem to like growing close together, even crowded. The variation in structure and colorfulness is comparable to the spring flowers.

The root system is quite complicated and symbiosis with the forest. A forest with fungus is a healthy forest. Up to 80% of the plants in the forest benefit in growth from the presens of fungi in the ground.

Ha de Gött!

Near and Far

Near and Far

So mysterious it sits there in the night sky. Sunbathing, casting just a glimpse of light in the dark. So near, so far.

Poetry, songs, stories, horror, hope, longing, envy. Mind provoking since ancient times. Guiding travelers across land and sea, a friend.

Like a cheese full of holes. Knocked about and bombarded by the universe. Hide and seek in twenty eight day cycles.

Howl at the moon, it’s good for you (but not for the neighbors), ha de Gött!

Bolted

Bolted

Through the eye of the needle. What can you see.

Through the eye of the needle. What will fit.

Through the eye of the needle. What will thread.

Through the eye of the needle. What’s on the other side

Through the eye of the needle. Camel or man.

Sometimes better not knowing, ha de Gött!

Tranquility

Tranquility

If I had to choose a favorite season it would be autumn. The variety is not only in the colors. The weather offers daily surprises. Strong winds one day and the complete stillness in between. Heavy cold horizontal rain and indian summer sun an hour later. The first nibble of frost in the morning while the animals harvest for winter storage.

Easy does it, ha de Gött!

Shaggy parasol

Shaggy parasol

Macro of a parasol mushroom. I think it is a shaggy parasol or a parasol mushroom. Like many mushrooms it is very difficult to find out. Beautiful anyway. Now if it is a shaggy parasol one can only wonder what goes on underneath.

Don’t stay to long in the sun, ha de Gött!

Eagle-Owl

Eagle-Owl

I was just about to put away the camera as I was loosing light when I heard her. My friend the Eagle-owl I wrote about in an earlier post, find it here. She was hiding very well in the branches of the high pine forest. She had me under close observation as I was trying to find a good angle and get closer. I even think she was moving around to block my view. She gave me a tantalizing hoo-hoo as I walked away.

Easy come, easy go, ha de Gött!

Pine needle

Pine needle

On the lichen covered rock it waits

Waits to be tossed by the wind

become once again part of the soft soil

Carried away by an ant

Winter anthill shelter building lock

become once again part of the soft soil.

But, be careful where you place it, ha de Gött!

Ink Cap

Ink Cap

Popping out in the lawn like umbrellas in a rainy outdoor concert. The Ink Cap “Coprinopsis atramentaria“. In Swedish “Bläcksvamp”, that translates to “ink mushroom”. It’s edible but don’t mix it with alcohol, then it becomes poisons. Because of this effect it is sometimes called Tippler’s bane. So make sure what’s in that mushroom stew before washing it down with beer or wine.

Just remember there is always a non alcoholic alternative, ha de Gött!

Lake View

Lake View

Perhaps today it’s time to sell the house. This is the view from my home office today. After several days of heavy raining the meadow has turned into a lake. The wild apple tree cast its beautiful autumn image to reflect in the still water. For those concerned, the cows are indoors already. More rain is expected so I’ll have this for a few days, hope I get some work done at all.

Everything in moderation, ha de Gött!
