Dearest Bill, bringer of smiles, your beautiful comments were the first words I read on my mobile this morning. What a perfect start to the day. Hugs and loves coming your way, too 🙂
Oh my word, Andrea, is it really a month since you posted this comment? My sincere apologies for not responding. I’ve been going through a “funny” this year, with time moving at a different speed to me and somehow overtaking me. Yes, the fungi have been most prevalent this year. Those ones on the elm stump are still there, although slightly darkened and shrivelled since I took that photo. It seems the rain will never stop. I do hope you haven’t had any flooding where you live.
Same here, Cybele. Fungi are fascinating and primitive. I like the fact that no two are the same, and the particular smell of woody dampness wherever they grow.
Perfect words for the image

You never disappoint, dear friend. Where others see black and white, you see a kingdom of color. You are a writer, my highest professional compliment.
And you are a good human being, my highest personal compliment.
I hope this finds you well. Keep writing! The world needs people like you.
Hugs and love coming your way!

That’s fabulous fungi, described delightfully Sarah. The fungi has been out in force with all this rain we’re having.

No problem Sarah. No, we’re fortunate that we tend not to get flooding – it has been very wet which has really brought the fungi out.

Beauty in decay…I love it, ‘capped with frills’. Though the dreaded Dutch Elm disease…such a terrrible scourge. Beautiful, dearest Sarah xxxxxxxxxx
