Enough.

Awesome to see this billboard up in Vancouver.

It's been such a hot, dry summer there was so little in the way of mushrooms. I was so delighted after a good rain a couple of weeks ago to come across this wonderful mushroom or fungus of some sort. No idea what is is.

Amazing. 😀

Thank you, Denise. You are very kind. Had some struggles with my mental health this year. But I am getting better. I did get out for a 2 kilometer (about 1.2 mile) run today, First time in a while. 😊🙏

Quite similar here in Ontario, here. We've had an extremely dry summer. Though we did get some rains in Sept. the hot, dry summer took a toll on the trees. 🌳

I'm from Canada, Emma. So have never seen Manatees. But have always read how gentle they are.
