During the dark wet winters in #wsanecterritory #fungi still bloom, a ghostly note echoing from tree to tree. The quietest music to be heard. #wander #funghi #pilze #キノコ #forestwalk
Then a stray beam of sunlight broke through the forest canopy. Lit up the fungus for three glorious seconds. I could have wept. These long years, waiting, for this moment.

You start a thing you need to see it thru to the end. Not absolutely--I don't live in a vacuum. Sometimes goals must be abandoned because of necessity. This is prudent. Most things I follow thru best I can. I planted baby oaks on the bluff last fall. Now they need water. As I trudged down the deer path in the dry heat I asked Why do I make more work for myself? I watered the babies. Good luck, I said. As I trudged back a commotion of small birds. There-- a young Great Horned Owl in the dapple.
