The things you miss...



Fall is on here full tilt and its amazing when the leaves start to disappear off of the trees, what shows up in your viewfinder...This is a tiny wasp nest which the queen hatches her first batch of workers in and then they fly off to build the big nest. One of our regular walks is down to a pretty little pond in the woods where there is a patch of cat tail reeds and yesterday I noticed a red winged blackbird nest quite close to where we stand all summer to throw sticks and explore the shoreline...
                                                                 

   I had just watched a video the night before about nature artist Andrew Goldsworthy to learn more check out this link. and decided to pay him a little tribute with some dying flowers in the nest.

Found this slug truckin down the pathway, no doubt happy to have some wet weather again...

...and the leaves are doing their thing too with pretty tones and weird spores...


On the property across the road there was a patch of Amanita mushrooms...probably one of the deadlier kinds of mushrooms but very cool looking ..
