Isn’t this gorgeous? And the body of the butterfly is striped yellow and black to blend in with the wings!

Here is a not so nice mushroom called a False Morel which can apparently kill you even if you breathe in the fumes from cooking it! Hopefully you have to cook more than one…..
A brown wrinkled mushroom growing in British Columbia.  It looks kind of like a brown coloured brain.

Just for a switch from cherry blossoms these are plum blossoms - sadly only ornamental.

In honour of #earthday the great squirrel rescue of 2026! I found this little guy on the ground and put him in a box with a towel to keep him warm and hoped his mum would come and get him - which she did but it took her about 5 hrs. He was almost the same size but she hauled him up the tree!

Pompom cherry blossoms in Vancouver. I always wonder why they grow that way. PS Apple tree behind in case you were wondering what the white blossoms were.

So the problem we have here is that I can’t get close enough to my keyboard, and Galileo isn’t really comfy, but neither of us want to give up. Sigh

OK Mr Crow - first of all that suet ball is supposed to be on the feeder not on the ground and secondly it is supposed to be for all the birds not just you! Finally it’s expensive so it would be really nice if you didn’t peck it to pieces inside of five minutes. Sigh.

Look who came for a visit in North Vancouver this morning! Of course saw him and then I couldn’t find my phone so I was having a panic attack but finally got it and he posed very nicely for me before flapping off. 😃 #birds

We are having an atmospheric river here and it has been pouring for several days. So why are the birds still using the bird bath? I would be hiding under a bush and trying to stay dry. Any ideas? #birds

Look at the amazing embroidery on this jacket and waistcoat from the Royal Collections Museum in Madrid! You can even identify the flowers. Worth enlarging. So pleased that no one decided it was out of date and should be thrown out…..

We are sitting right around zero C which is just the temperature that Hair Ice needs - I believe it is the evaporation of moisture from the wood that then freezes immediately.

Just burying my head in the snow and staying away from the news for as long as possible. Not sure what created the grass like effect. Looks like hoar frost on top of the snow perhaps?

These were on a tree that fell over in a storm and now that their home is horizontal rather than vertical I am wondering if they will survive - maybe their growing pattern will change? #fungifriends

My goodness I thought mushrooms would be easier to ID than butterflies because at least they stay still but no they are pretty tricky as well! I’m thinking these are Angel Wings? Growing on a tree stump in North Vancouver, BC. #fungifriends

Sometimes you just need to go for a walk in the woods and if you happen to find a beautiful violet mushroom it makes the day so much better! #fungifriends
Mushroom that is pale violet around the edges and cream coloured in the middle.  I think it is a Silvery Violet Cory
