When I first saw this horse against the dark green backdrop of the trees, it reminded me of a unicorn in a fairy tale. It was rainy and a bit foggy and the horse almost appeared to glow.

This was another one of those things to make you go “hmmm…”. As I was out walking in the neighborhood I came across a spot where it appeared an entire box of matches had been spilled. It wasn’t in front of a house, just at a random spot in the road.

I’ve noticed that fire hydrants in the area are painted different colors. Hmmm….wonder why? This might be a series that requires a bit of investigation….This is not the hydrant that’s in my yard from Day 134, but it is in the neighborhood and painted the same color. Once you get out of my neighborhood, I have noticed hydrants painted other colors. Might have to ride around and see how many different ones I can find. I applied an antique preset from LightRoom to this one.

These aren’t mushrooms, they are toad stools – big enough for a toad (not a little frog) to sit on and have room left over. I don’t know what it is with the weather lately, but several of the lawns in my neighborhood, mine included, have had some form of mushrooms growing in them. I guess we’ve had the perfect combination of rain and sun for the funny fungi to grow. The second photo shows the gills on the underside. The third and forth shots are macros – I wanted to bring out the details in the caps.

I took a walk this morning as the sun was coming up. It has cooled off a little and I do believe I felt a hint of fall in the air.

After a bit of rain and a lot of humidity I found these mushrooms growing in the backyard. They must have sprouted over night. When I got home this evening the few that were left were wilted and laying on the ground. I guess direct sunlight and 96 degrees isn’t a good evironment for fungi!
