Friday is for friends and fungi

Today has not provided the opportunity for art as such. Contact with and support of friends and neighbours have dominated the day - but then if one can't take the time for friendship them what are we.

However on our morning walk we came across these magnificent fungi vessels complete with crystal clear water. As you are aware we have been having lots of rain lately and so the weeds and fungi are just thriving. I just love the way other vessels are unfurling - gentle fluted edges. We had a huge thunderstorm this afternoon so I guess we will see these little characters for sometime on the fringes of a rotting stump.

  5. L, P, H and D - I am both never surprised but at the same time am energised by the connections between ourselves regarding our views on the simple beauty of nature and our efforts to collect an/or replicate it. May we observe and create well. B
