Walking the #Kelpie.
And yes, the dog stands straight -almost, the road goes up.
Still #Winter at -2C Before Autumn returns ☔

All of our dogs get during their life extra names. The list grows longer as they grow older. After #kelpie Yty we got kelpie Syyni. This is her. It's the only dog we also called 'Skippy', just like Yty was, and here you can see why. 😆

Walking the dog.
Now you see why you're not getting any new mushroom pics from me. This weather is happening for a while now. #WorkingKelpie Syyni is fine not wearing a coat. 🤷‍♂️ The patch of forest to the left is where my 'holiday cottage' is. #Mökki.
About that mökki...

Striking yellow tiny Calocera cornea -small staghorn on a tree stump. #Sheltie Nooti is the blurry background.

I found this #mushroom yesterday. Not seen it before here (in my valley I call home). I found it in a small meadow, right where it's supposed to be found. Hygrocybe chlorophana - Keltavahakas. #Fungifriends

No, this is not the later stage of this #SlimeMold I posted earlier, but one of the same species, Badhamia utricularis, on the same tree. This one sits about 3m up, so pretty easy to miss. 😅 #mushroom #fungifriends

We were mushrooming on a pretty cold day. #Kelpie Yty and #Sheltie Nooti could not care less about the shrooms or the cold, they had the playful ears. 😆

On this day, in 2006 and 2015.
We had a short burst of cold in 06. -20C at night and plenty of early snow.
Nine years later the planting season for road markers for snow plows started in the southeast.

Could I have a Badhamia utricularis slime mold here in my front yard? 🤔 #fungi
@geertje-geertsma.bsky.social Jij weet dat zeker en vast. Wat moet ik verder verwachten? -En hoe snel?

It was no safe to wander through the woods. Something was lurking from below. #Autumn #Kelpie

I met this Spathularia flavida (keltalapakka) #mushroom in my mökki garden. Never seen it anywhere else.

#Sheltie Nooti loves being in hardware store #Bauhaus.
#WorkingKelpie Syyni is puzzled why the mallards are so static? And same kelpie, again staring 'at things' from the living room window this time. 😅

#WorkingKelpie Syyni was young and aiming fast for the photographer. #Sheltie Nooti was there to sound the alarm, like usual. Nice crispy, misty day.

I did not need to head into the forest for my #mushrooms. The garden has plenty too. This Exidia glandulosa, that resided there for quite long on a tree stump. And a surprising, but no-id earth tongue. One of 3 only.

Some #mushrooms I found again. Xylaria hypoxylon, the first one, was easy. Ascocoryne sarcoides is the purple fungus. Third one? Just a nice photo then. 😅 #fungifriends

On this day in 2015.
I was ploughing a field in a nice curve and the overturned soil made some pretty fog. 2nd photo was another MacGyver moment. I lost the cap of the fuel tank somehow, but I needed the diesel to stop sloshing out. 😬 Enter the soda bottle! Perfect fit!
Cap found at the farm. 😅

#WorkingKelpie Syyni was at the airfield here. Only these kinds of small one and two engined aircraft use it. Not far away we do have an airstrip for the airforce jets. That's the road we also drive on. 😎

#Sheltie Myfki and #BorderTerrier Xena both loved to pull fiercely and swim. Best friends! 🤗

#Autumn leaves on asphalt. In Alastaro. <- No clue what I was doing there. 🤷‍♂️

It was cold and the bog was calling us. #Sheltie Nooti and #kelpie Yty enjoyed the open nature. Bright coloured outfits are bc of boneheaded hunters.

On this day (I think 🤔) in 1999.
I ran the World Agility Championships with #sheltie Woody (teams only) in Dortmund 🇩🇪. That's us entering the ring there.
I hardly have any photos of that event. Don't even know where this came from.
Anyways, a little high point in life there. 😎

#Sheltie Myfki sitting on a mossy slope. Exactly there, where you'll find funnel chanterelles. That's what I was doing. I don't know why, but all my shelties do/did this thing that the moment you go collecting mushrooms, they sit and start observing you. 🤷‍♂️

Autumn colours in the front yard. Every year is different, no surprise there, but like in this photo, with dry soil and bright coloured leaves, is more rare.
There's the -no face- wife again 😆, but also a #WorkingKelpie who's always in autumn camouflage.
