Meet Clavulina amethystinoides, this picture by my wife is from a hike along the Blue Ridge Parkway in North Carolina, USA. The species was recently reevaluated in the scientific literature : www.mdpi.com/2309-608X/11...

It is strange, people can be so absolutely horrible, infuriating, or just negligently incompetent. But at other times, and usually with other people, it is all love, joy, sharing, and compassion. It is hard not to get sucked into the negativity. Nurturing the good stuff is what I strive to do.

The Pleated Inkcap, Parasola plicatilis, a delicate little mushroom that just came up in the yard in some disturbed soil, after a few days of rain. #mushrooms #fungsky #fungi #nature

A clump of delicate little mushrooms, looking like a dense clump of umbrellas, emerging from the soil.

What a gorgeous beetle. And excellent photography! I wonder what insect has the highest percent by volume thorax? I know the head is partially tucked in the thorax in this beetle. Perhaps the highest percent by volume abdomen in insects belongs to the queens of certian termites.

Artemisia absinthium, Wormwood, among the ingredients in the cupboards of some witches. Wikipedia has a nice entry on this plant species. #witchsky #witch
