Portrait of a wild American mink, head shot, while heโ€™s looking directly into my camera, playing peekaboo with me at the shore of Lake Washington. The low angle morning sun illuminates his right side, makes his brown fur, right eye nice and shiny.


Here's some #FungiFriday news:

In Hungary we have an online vote every year for Fungus of the Year.

The 2023 vote just concluded, and it seems like the 2023 Fungus of the Year will be the Gomphus clavatus (a.k.a. pig's ears).
It beat the citron amanita and the pine bolete.

(We also have votes for Mineral of the Year, Bird of the Year, Wildflower, Butterfly, Fish, Insect, etc. I live for these votes.)

This comic hits home, but when you see the 2007 publishing date in the lower right hand corner it hits even harder.

Prompt 2: Tree

A Transylvanian Roma folktale says in the old days trees could walk.
A rich man once saw a beautiful old oak, and ordered it to follow him home, to be cut up as firewood. Then he ordered the tree to carry him and his food along the way. Then ordered it to steal the bell from the church tower, just because.
At that point, lightning struck, and God decided trees should not walk and obey people anymore.

Polar bears on an abandoned island

Russian underwater and wildlife photographer Dmitry Kokh took a trip of a lifetime to an abandoned meteorological station on Kolyuchin Island. This small island, located in the Chukchi Sea, is in a remote area of the Russian arctic. While humans have long since left the area, Kokh discovered that there are other creatures making themselves comfortable. Polar bears have overtaken the station, turning the old buildings into cozy homes and, from the looks of it, thriving.

Rainy Day on Lispach Lake / Journรฉe pluvieuse sur le Lac de Lispach / Regentag am Lispach See


Lispach Lake is a small glacial lake located at an altitude of 900 m. It is partly covered by a peat bog, housing a particular fauna and flora due to the harsh and humid climatic conditions as well as the acidic environment. There is a small dam that was used to feed weaving factory and sawmills.

today Andrea et moi visited the Tausendjรคhrige Eibe in Gutau; may not be a Yew of a thousand years but, for sure it is an old one and stands completely alone. we sat underneath her dark branches for long twice, on our way up and our way down to the nearby forest... it is a male one, was full of seeds.
