A Coral Mushroom

A Coral Mushroom. Perhaps a Smoky Worm Coral (Clavaria fumosa/rubicundula). Captured in pixels because as I hike through the woods I go slowly. Very slowly. The more slowly I proceed, the more I see. The more discoveries I make. Not discoveries that will shake the scientific world but discoveries that will bring great jubilation to my heart. That’s how I tick. Get out there and find Mother Nature at her best.

For me it is not the number of miles I achieve, but what I find. So many mushrooms. So many insects. So many flowers waiting to become part of the perfect composition. There is so much out there just waiting for me. If only I will go slowly. If only I will look. If only I will take it all in. With my camera.
