Hear me out: En Vogue, but they're Northern Shovelers.
Have a great weekend everyone! Enjoy this gorgeous waterfall that I passed while hiking in the White Mountains, New Hampshire earlier this week. I especially like how it is lit up from the sunset it is facing. #hiking #backpacking #mountains #NewHampshire #waterfall #waterfalls #stream #streams #weekend #sunset #nature #NaturePhotography #landscape #photography #LandscapePhotography #outside #GetOutside

Pippin was a little glum so I installed new batteries.

It worked!

The oyster mushrooms are going wild here this year with the mild, damp weather.

And spore prints are so lovely, as well as handy for helping identify different varieties. I only had an old shoe box to make this one.

Some of my backyard friends from yesterday. 🥹

I used to hike past this dead tree when it was still standing. It had several gray Tinder Conks [Fomes fomentarius] growing out of it.

After the tree fell, fresh tan mushrooms, grew in at a different angle from their predecessors. The fungus adapted to the change of posture.

So if a tree falls and there’s no one around to hear it, well… at least you might be able to tell WHEN it fell. 🤗

It has always seemed to me that these two frogs are having relationship issues. They can't face each other, but they are not ready to give up on each other either. I hope they talked their problems out.
