A simple pale yellow mushroom grows just outside our fenced garden, and we remember that so much happening in the world is simply beyond the pale.

A deeper yellow cap on this mushroom reminds us to think deeply about the times that lay ahead for us, and to work for a leadership that will respect this earth.

This orange capped mushroom grabs our attention, and reminds us that many things will call to us, but few will really warrant a deeper look.

Deep red leaves stirred by fall breezes will soon be on the ground and forgotten; their transience will nourish next year's mushrooms.


Thanks for indulging me, I'm just having fun with these photos we took today.
