Monday morning trail run was fantastic. Sun was out, everything glistening after rainy weekend, and the Efts were on the move.

I’ve always loved this mini forest amphitheater in my local park. I can imagine some sort of ritual taking place there.

Three semi circular concentric rings of stone, one level higher than another like stairs, leading down to a patch of dirt in front of a larger boulder with carvings. Like a mini forest amphitheater. There is a trail above that larger boulder that cuts through the area. Everything is covered in moss and very shaded from the surrounding hemlock forest.

    @nathanlovestrees this is basically perfect for the tree growing ritual from My Neighbour Totoro

    A colony of unknown mushrooms grow on a hollow log transformed into a spring fountain in the German Black Forest

    relic

    A very large tree stump in an old growth forest. The trunk has broken off the base of the stump about 10 feet above the ground. The forest floor behind the stump is now exposed to sunlight and a small patch of ferns are illuminated on the right of the stump. Small mushrooms and moss and ferns adorn the base of the stump.

    homily in the forest cathedral

    a fern covered shallow ravine in an old growth white pine and eastern hemlock forest. Pictured are younger and smaller trees but larger ones not pictured have created deeply shaded areas where the ferns cover the forest floor.

    Some cute little mushrooms growing in the side of an old tree stump. Makes me think of a little mossy cave that the mushrooms live in, and they're peering out from the front to see if it's raining...

    Vertical pic

    Closeup shot of a cluster of very small mushrooms growing in a depression in a tree trunk. They have white stalks and cream-coloured parabola-shaped caps with vertical lines down the side and darker tips. There's moss growing around them, above and behind the depression they're growing in, so it looks like a little cave with the mushrooms leaning out of the front

    and a few more highlights from recent hike for since folks seem to enjoy those, 2/2 🙂 the "grosser" ones here >_>

    three tiny mushroom caps growing from a very degraded portion of a fallen log, with a suspiciously "don't eat me" aura, light gold with tons of dark brown speckles across the tops
    a close-up of a white fungus with dozens of drops of (water? sap?) extruding from its surface, some reflecting the scene around them, some focusing light like a magnifying glass, some suspending solid materials, some of various colors
    a slime mold of some sort spreading across the surface of a downed log, looking like tiny white sea anemones or perhaps baby coral

    Looking through some pictures from this spring I found one for . I didn't play around too much with this one, just some quick work to make the colors match my memory of reality a bit closer.

    Macro shot of a Brood XIX Cicada. I'm not particularly good at macro photography, but I think this one turned out pretty well.

    A close-up macro photo of a Brood XIX cicada on a mossy driveway. The Cicada is facing to the right, its shape is mostly in focus, but the outer edge around its head and back are somewhat blurred. Their right eye is deep red, with a blurry black dot in the middle. You can just barely see some of their left eye. Their legs are a brownish orange color, with a black band just below their "knee" (I don't know the proper name, feel free to share if you know it). The opaque parts of their wings that connect to their abdomen are a bright orange color, that slowly fades and transitions to black as it goes further down the wing. The wings are segmented, with clear window-like structures between the opaque bits. They are beautiful.
