Fusterlandia in Havana, Cuba is a quirky home and neighborhood created by artist Jose Fuster. His mosaic tiles cover his home, gallery and many neighborhood houses. It’s joyful, quirky and even a bit #odd . #blueskyartshow

I missed the Lyrid meteor shower but these Shooting Star flowers were all over the forest! I’ll take it as a win.

The short season of the Black Morchella morel means that this is probably the last one I’ll find this year. By next weekend they’ll be gone. #morel #mushrooms #fungifriends

We’ve never found more than two types of morels together. Their seasons are short and don’t have lots of overlap. Today was the exception. We found yellows (pictured), morchellas and half frees all in one morning. It’s a first for me! #morel #fungifriends #mushrooms

The appropriately named Wood Ear mushroom. I love the forest all year but Spring is amazing! #fungifriends

Trillium and Mayapples covered large sections of the forest floor. Together with the Dutchman’s Breeches, Trout Lilies, and Shooting Stars they were putting on a spectacular display.
With three large, scalloped-edged white petals, the flower sits above bright green leaves. A Mayapple stands behind.

Devil’s Urn. Such a cool fungus with a great name. They’re around about the same time as the morels. #fungifriends

Today’s hike in the woods was wonderful in many ways. I was with 3 of my favorite humans as well as my Lola. The spring ephemerals were absolutely delightful. It was sunny and warm. And finding lots of these topped off the day. They’ll be delicious.

I’m falling in love with these gorgeous Spring mornings! Happy Friday, All!

It was a good day to walk in the woods. No morels yet but plenty of Virginia Bluebells, Trout Lily, Dutchman’s Breeches, and Red Trillium among other spring ephemerals.
Blue and pink bell-like flowers droop in clusters near
 the forest floor. Blotchy green and brown leaves surround a delicate stem holding one tightly closed yellow flower. Like tiny white pantaloons on a clothes line, the white flowers dangle from the arched stem. Deep maroon buds are each perched on three large green leaves; waiting for a sunny day to burst open.

These signs & more have popped up on my side of town. I love that one of my neighbors has written and posted these in my red state. Not fancy. Just real. #resist

Blue skies in Brooklyn today. The crocus and snowdrops are popping up and the volleyball league starts this week. Must be Spring!
The Domino Sugar building is brilliant design that kept the brick exterior of the former warehouse and added a glass structure inside. It sits by the waterfront park housing beach volleyball, a walking path and a variety of restaurants.

It’s a bit of a Circle of Life moment in my backyard right now. Watching a hawk pluck the feathers from its latest catch. Reminds me a bit of our neighbor when I was little. Mrs. Collins could pluck a chicken with ease. I just hope this hawk doesn’t throw the head like Mrs. Collins did.

What a difference two weeks makes! The find of a lifetime from two weeks ago was hardly worth looking at on today’s hike. The weather has been dry & I’m wondering if this is a normal progression. No filter used on either photo. #fungifriends

We received a dusting of snow this morning. It made for a peaceful walk along the White River.
Naked trees reflecting in the calm river. The sky is gray and there’s a dusting of snow on the ground.
