However, I did snap these last week - on another wet, though not so wild, day. The rose is in a garden just up the road. I'd seen the fungi a week previously when they were fresher, and they looked like lovely glossy wood, almost. But it was a day when I'd decided that a camera on top of six library books was just more than I wanted to carry, and by the time I passed that way again they had faded a little from their original beauty.
This is another one I saw on the way to the bus stop one morning - it almost looked as if it were melting into the ground. I don't remember seeing such a wide variety of fungi in the local area as I have this year.
Did I say that last time we went to the park we saw more deer gathered together in one spot than I think I've ever seen there before?
And they weren't all at a distance either - a small part of the herd was quite close to us.

beautiful, Sabrina. I love that you take the time to smell the roses! Hitting the pause button to just b in our Lord's creation is the best medicine!
A rose in winter - how tender the bloom. I picked some from the garden last December I think, and they did not last the day inside. The change in temperature is too much for them. But how beautiful it looks with the dewy droplets. So many deer - and they look almost domesticated letting people get so close. I hope they are not as much a problem as they are here. They eat almost everything in the landscape and have destroyed the understory in the local woods.
