Wandering Around My Driveway.

I took a walk around my driveway.  Not the whole drive way, just the loop part near my house.  It is not much of a walk but I was surprised by what all I saw.  The different sizes and shapes of fungi fascinate me.  I have, in the past, posted pictures of different types of fungi and mushrooms that grow on my place.  Well, you guessed it, I took more fungi pictures.  I thought this one growing on a stump was unusual; actually, they all are unusual.

 

My son had cut a tree down to make it easier for me to get the RV in and out of the driveway.  In this next picture, you can see an unusual fungus growing on that stump.

 

This is a front view of that fungus:

 

And this is a side view of the same fungus:

 

 

 This is a picture of the whole stump.  Can you see the above fungus at the lower left of the picture below:

 

To make it easier to cut the tree down, my son made his first cut a little up from ground level.  He then went back and cut it off again as close to the ground as he could without damaging his saw.  The piece below is what that piece looked like:



There were other types of fungus growing on downed tree limbs:

 

And these, which I thought that the bluish-grey line in from the edge of the fungus bloom made them look more elegant, if a fungus could be elegant, that is:

 

 

It was not all stuff growing on dead things that caught my eye, so I will end this blog posting with some pretty violets:

 

Now, be like these blooming violets and have a great day and let your life bloom, you hear?
