Mushrooms

Monday

Wednesday: bedraggled and discoloured by the rain (the bigger one is about 10″ tall, at least)

You would hardly think it was the same mushroom. I’ve never seen one like this before. It makes me think of fairies.

And let’s have a quick bird tale. Yesterday on the fence.

In the last image, the lorikeet is all spread out to make himself look bigger. Another landed a split-second later. The sun was shining on the curtains.

Sally D’s Mobile Photography Challenge: Black and White (Today Launches a new Title for the Challenge)

lensandpensbysally has renamed her photo challenge from ‘Phoneography and Non-SLR Digital Devices Photo Challenge’ to the snappy ‘Sally D’s Mobile Photography Challenge’. I keep meaning to participate, but I think you are all beginning to twig by now that I do not always do what I think I’m going to do. 🙂

Lens and Pens by Sally

Lens:

Both photographs taken at Yosemite National Park with my iPhone 4s, April 2014.

Let me know which you prefer and why. I suggest that you click on each image to enlarge.

Pens:

Instantly, I recall that moment of true love. It is one of the most emotional experiences from my mental archive where I meander through memories about nature in places wild or tame, private or public. To enter Yosemite National Park is to put one’s mind in total spiritual and visual awareness. My senses were tantalized and thrilled, resulting in tears that surfaced with tender and paramount forces. I felt my kinship to John Muir.

On that…

Other Stuff, Vika

I’m annoyed with the sun.

Where was the sun last week! I wanted glorious sunsets over the Aldinga Beach sands.

Aldinga Beach: 11 May 2015

I wanted brilliant photos of pelicans and other sea-birds against blue skies.

A pelican and some other birds I barely noticed sitting on the reef. (11 May 2015)

Of course it flew away. Look at that bit of blue sky teasing me.

What a difference a few days make. It was minus 2 (Celsius) this morning and the day is sunny again, just like it has been every day since we headed home on Wednesday.

The American Sycamore this morning … I love this tree! (click on it twice to get a big image)

And here is Vika.

Vika

She likes walking in the middle of the road on our way back down the side of our block. Yesterday was the first day she suddenly ran off towards me. I looked up. The neighbour was just driving out of his driveway. Vika is finally learning about cars. She usually just stands still and I have to scoop her up and carry her to the verge.

Have a nice day. 🙂
