the same sky
the same street
the same words
sometimes shut
like doors of lead
sometimes brighten
& open anew

from ancient traces
to sudden revelations
the world widens
taking in
what passes through

its #reflection sharpening
as the layers settle below

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone. I wonder what nature‘s cooking up in that little cauldron?

A close, low-angle nature photograph taken along the Dogwood Trail in Tyler County, East Texas. The image shows a cluster of golden-orange bracket fungi growing across the surface of a fallen log in a quiet hardwood forest. The main mushroom in the frame has a distinctive vase- or funnel-shaped cap, its ridged texture catching soft filtered light from the forest canopy. Surrounding it are smaller, curled shelf fungi with ruffled, wavy edges and rich earthy tones — yellows, ochres, and warm browns typical of East Texas woodland fungi in early fall. The log they’re growing on is weathered and textured, with pale gray bark, deep cracks, and darker patches of decay. The foreground shows softly blurred orange fungi, contributing depth and a sense of being down on the forest floor at eye level. In the background, the bokeh is smooth and muted: soft greens, gentle browns, and out-of-focus branches that create a dreamy woodland atmosphere without pulling attention away from the mushroom cluster.

Tiny little mushroom growing in the moss. Love how the tiniest ones are often translucent.

A fungus photo a day: I saw this witch’s hat/Hygrocybe conica well off the path yesterday, even though they are tiny I think you can see why, it was incredibly bright! #fungifriends #fungi #mycology #naturephotography

A fungus photo a day: Usually, it is the gills on a mushroom that are fancy but the stipe on this Amanita Pantherina is all kinds of fancy! Cap below. (More photos on FungiFanaticFinds on Instagram)

White mushrooms growing at the base of an old tree. The bark is weathered and cracked. The photo was taken from low down looking up.

Found a little patch of earth stars (Geastrum sp.) today. Time in the forest never fails to yield something special...

Woolly tooth, Phellodon tomentosus (is my best guess) for this bundle of beauty. 💚

Young cotton growing in mechanized field. Hall County, Texas. Anyone who inspects one of these giant mechanized farms must realize that it foreshadows a fundamental change in American agriculture

#hallcounty #texas #american #undefined #photography […]

[Original post on mastodon.ozioso.online]
The image shows an expansive field with rows of crops, likely cotton given the presence of young plants and typical crop spacing. The photograph is in black and white, suggesting it might be historical or taken for artistic effect rather than modern-day usage. There are no visible workers; instead, numerous mechanical furrows can be seen, indicating mechanized farming practices. The field appears to extend far into the horizon with a vast open landscape around it. No buildings or other structures are immediately noticeable within this expanse of agricultural land. The text "9-2018" is handwritten in white on the left-hand side of the image and could be indicative of when the photo was taken, possibly implying that mechanized farming has evolved since then. This scene represents a significant change in American agriculture compared to traditional methods which often relied heavily on manual labor. The mechanization suggests an increase in efficiency and productivity for cotton production, reflecting broader trends towards industrial-scale farming during certain periods.
