I didn't have any ideas this week, so I thought I'd fall back on showing you some recent shots from around my house.
These shots are all from yesterday (Sunday) which started as a rather wet and rainy day.
I love the way the berries look when they are dripping with rain drops. There is also a lot of different fungi because of all the rain we have had recently.
I tend to assume the red mushrooms are poisonous but something has been eating away at them.
Many of the flowers have already gone to seed but I have a late bunch of black eyed susan in bloom which is like a bonus plant.
I also had a late bunch of lantana start to bloom after most of the plants were spent.
The sun finally came out after a morning rain and the afternoon clouds were pink against a blue sky.

I used one of those very same red mushrooms for a Ruby Tuesday about a year ago. Okay, not the same ones but the same kind.
ReplyDeleteAwesome macro work here!
I love your rain drop shots!! I always enJOY visiting your blog. Thank you!!
ReplyDeleteSuch beautiful colours that really sum up this time of year just as summer has given way to autumn.
ReplyDeleteJanice.
those rain drop berry shots are perfect...love the color of that berry in the first shot...beautiful shade.
ReplyDeletehave a lovely evening.
I LOVE the raindrops! And such beautiful and colorful photos! Your place is delightful, Carver!
ReplyDeleteHave a great week!

Lovely shots. If the red mushroom is a fly agaric, then it's toxic - but snails still love it. As do reindeer, who probably get high on it.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous colors! You did a great job at shooting macro. Thank you so much for sharing these beautiful pictures.
ReplyDeleteSame weather where I live in VA. I like the sky photo best. Sad to see the flowers stop blooming.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful macro work Carver! :)
ReplyDeleteGreat series of yard photos and I love the last sky photo. It is very colorful! Thanks for sharing your world.
ReplyDeleteGreat rain drop shots. I wish we have your rain. But the glow of the sun on the last last made it just the culmination of a wet day.
ReplyDeleteYour yard is a paradise unto itself. Thanks for sharing your world.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely post - the raindrop pics are my favorite. I don't get much of a chance to take photos like these around here... (sigh)
ReplyDeleteGreat photos Carver...love that one of the lantana...
ReplyDeleteand also the fungi and the bug below!
Oh you had some rain. I am like that sometimes I simply don't have anything in mind to show. But you ended up sharing beautiful photos you see around you. I love that lantana. I cant seem to grow it. Another lantana just died.
ReplyDeletewhat more can i say? i have always been a fan of your photography. great job.
ReplyDeleteAll your photos are excellent. I love the rain drops on the berries and the lantana.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing. I also appreciate your visit and comment!
that sure is a beautiful world!
ReplyDeleteI'm assuming this is outside your house, not inside. The red mushroom can't be poisonous if it's being eaten. Really lovely photos.
ReplyDeleteCarver: What a neat look at the flora from your yard, great photos.
ReplyDeleteIsn't it amazing how differently you see things when you're in your photographer role? You've found great beauty in tiny spots. The raindrops in the first two are fantastic.
ReplyDeleteLove the rainsoaked dripping plants. Amonitas are poisonous in quantity but apparently if nibbled sparingly give you halluciations. Many snails and slugs are immune to mushroom poison that would easily kill us.
ReplyDeleteSensational shots, Carver!
ReplyDeletewhat a fiery looking clouds
ReplyDeleteyou have so much out there to see and abundant of rain too =)
