i am loving our wrapped up, breezy strolls
i am loving our wrapped up, breezy strolls
through woody places, over grassy meadows
watching as autum paints the world with burnished hues

They remind me of creatures from under the sea!
ReplyDeleteRuthie you Have such a magical eye. These pics are fab. Xx
ReplyDeleteJust beautiful! I'd like to believe it is a fairy pup. :)
ReplyDeleteI love these! I've always wanted to know more about mushrooms. So fascinating! What a grand variety you have...
ReplyDeleteExquisite photos, Ruthie. You are so lucky to have spotted a faery pup! Have you read *The Faery Flag* by Jane Yolen? It is her short story about the young laird, Jamie MacLeod from Skye whose dog crossed a bridge one foggy night into Faerie. You may know of other stories about the faery shawl of Dunvegan Castle.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful piccies. They look so succulent! ... :0)
ReplyDeleteHello Ruthie! I so love these tiny wild wonders and your words send me into the rapture of nature's embrace. Fabulous photos! Wonderful! x
ReplyDeleteReally great pictures, Ruthie - I love the shapes and colors of the fungi world.
ReplyDeleteWOnderful photography!
ReplyDeleteRuthie, what beauties you found! I think I'd start skipping for joy if we found a real toadstool!! Aren't mushrooms just the most curious of things!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for visiting my blog.
Blessings and magic.
And I am loving walking with you.

ReplyDeleteWhat little treasures you have found! I love all the different shapes and textures. The fairy pup is such a priceless photo. I feel like I am there, exploring the fairy realms.
ReplyDeleteFabulous little abodes...I'm sure the mushroom fairies were nearby smiling at you...taking these photos.

Beautiful photographs. Magical! Surprising there isn't a little elf sitting on one of the mushrooms.
ReplyDeleteYour photos brighten my day. They are always so full of inspiration, beauty and magick. Thank you for sharing your wonderful pieces of art :)
ReplyDeleteI've just recently started really looking closely at many everyday things, like mushrooms and insects. They really are beautiful, aren't they? Though I haven't encountered such magnificent mushrooms as these.
ReplyDeleteYour photos are fabulous!
gorgeous series of photos, I love fungi and these are wonderful examples!
ReplyDeleteI also enjoyed your post from Shetland, I should go back there one day!
Ruthie, I have been admiring the artist you have on your other blog with the beautiful colours. Awesome!
ReplyDeleteLove the toadstools, by they are so big!
Always lovely to hear from you and thank you so much for your kind message.
Have a great weekend!

Wonderful fairy fungus. These are great photos Ruthie!;)
ReplyDeleteI like the fairy pup about to hide behind a huge mushroom...
These are good forms. I use to like to draw mushrooms with oil pastels. They have such lovely textures and colour.
Best wishes dear friend.

Everything is still so green there in Scotland! It is all browns and grays here. But at least it's not white!
ReplyDeletethis post overflows with one of my favorite parts of life, the wee fungi beings. I love your photos, they bring me joy!
ReplyDeleteI love your pictures!!
ReplyDeletePretty photos... I love mushrooms...
ReplyDeleteI would love to come to Scotland one day and explore the woods... My grandmother is from Scotland, but I am in Canada...
