Coral fungus - a photo on Flickriver

Coral fungus

            Today, 12 November 2019, I have just posted five more odds and ends of photos, from way back in my archives, instead of going through photos taken more recently.  Mind you, I shouldn't be posting anything, as I have started (yet again) backing up and deleting photo folders from my hard drive, as I am pretty well out of space.  Also, I will have to take my computer in before too long to get it changed over from Windows 7 to Windows 10, seeing as support for Windows 7 comes to an end in January.  So, a fair bit of deleting would be a good thing to do before I take in my computer.  Not to mention a good thing before my computer crashes!  I have added the description that was under another photo taken the same day, 30 August 2015.

"It's hard to believe that tomorrow is the start of September!  Public schools here reopen tomorrow and no doubt many parents will heave a huge sigh of relief - and many kids will be happy to reunite with friends.  Others will have very different feelings.  

On a drive yesterday afternoon, it simply felt like fall.  Two Magpies were the only birds I saw, and the landscape felt empty of living creatures.  After a great summer of seeing so many things, it was a sad feeling to now see so little.  

The smoke blown from the dreadful forest fires in the northwest United States had lessened by yesterday, 30 August 2015, so I decided to drive out to Brown-Lowery Provincial Park for a couple of hours.  I made myself go into the park a short way, as there were a number of cars in the parking lot, so I knew there would be other people who would hopefully not flush any bears or cougars in my direction, ha!  

Like on my previous visit, I found just a few fungi to photograph, including this small patch of Coral Fungus.  It was growing against a fallen, rotting log that was covered with beautiful mosses.  However, it was dark enough under the log that I almost didn't see this fungus - brightened it up once I had downloaded it to my computer.  Leaves from the deciduous trees had started to fall and these will make it so difficult to see anything growing on the forest floor from now on."
