I”ve lost count of how many days I haven’t posted, so I’m making up for it with a rainbow kaleidoscope of colors and textures from yesterday at John Bryan.

The edge of autumn is one of the most mystical times in the forest.  It was wet, quiet, and full of life in grand finale mode.   Most amazing were the bright orange and other fungi lurking around every bend.  There were constellations of starry lavender-pale blue asters, masses of orange and yellow jewelweed, bright blue lobelia, and sprays of yellow flowers everywhere.  We saw (but couldn’t capture) a group of deer just off the path.  The water was deep and sparkling, and leaves were starting to turn and fall.

I’ll post this in several parts.  First up is the fungus show.
