Fog droplets and Squatching along

Who can pass up a wonderfully misty afternoon? As the fog rolled in and looked absolutely yucky and nasty, Charlie and I took off for a walk in the woods looking for droplets of rain.



I'm going to have to start carrying a magnifying glass, these were so tiny!

I found Black Earth Tongues on an old rotting oak log!


... and here they are!


Very odd looking fungi and I suspect they may have grown last year? I'm not sure, I don't know enough about the world of fungi and mosses to say I know these things. I find them fascinating though.

So you may be bored at seeing moss, lichen, and fungi by now but here is just one more.


Squatch is looking for a new home. He feels this one is too wet.


This one too muddy.


And the hollow in this tree has a mushroom in it so for now he'll just munch along and consider his options.

You found some cool droplets n cute stuff for Squatch pics!! Oh, and those black earth tongues look rather phalic. There seems to be fair amount of resemblance with fungi ;)

The looking for droplets can distract you from the damp and wet day. Great photos.
