I don't know the identity of the pretty orange fungus above, but those below are oyster mushrooms.
seen along the
Water of Leith, where I was also delighted that the tawny owl was once again in residence in its hole, looking sleepy (Crafty Green Boyfriend took this photo last week but the owl looked pretty much the same today!).
for Nature Notes
The fungi is colorful and what a cute shot of the sleepy owl. Great sighting. Enjoy your new week!
ReplyDeleteGreat shots, Juliet. The owl looks the way I feel, by the end of the day!
ReplyDeletegreat shots, all of them!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos! I love owls. Super love even. :). And mushrooms are other worldly and marvelous.
ReplyDeleteMarvellous mushrooms, they can have such great colours and shapes.
ReplyDeleteI can't manage to see the owl, I even took off my glasses. Now I try again!
I have seen the owl!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful owl photo. There seems to be a heart shape turned sides just to the left of him on the trunk. Very sweet. Fungi are eye-catching, too.
ReplyDeleteSo jealous (in a friendly way) of this wonderful owl sighting and photo! I'm not sure I can help with the fungi.
ReplyDeleteCaroline, I just can't get over how luck we are to have an owl that just sits there and poses for us, week after week! It's the talk of the riverside paths!
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh do I love these photos especially the owl! How magnifiant!
ReplyDeleteMaybe that is one of those carvings you see here and there on old stumps and snags ...
ReplyDeleteRabbits Guy, definitely not a carving, it isn't always thee and it sometimes moves its head.
ReplyDeleteOh I love that owl!!! So beautiful :) looks sleepy
ReplyDeleteHow cool is that! Love how the owl blends into the tree... Nature's camouflage!
ReplyDeleteCool fungi, and the owl shot is terrific!
ReplyDeleteI would love to be able to see an owl in person..must be plenty of food to keep it happy...Michelle
