Edible gills - a photo on Flickriver

Edible gills

Wednesday, 7 October 2020: our temperature at 11:00 am is 8C (windchill 7C). Forecast to get up to 16C this afternoon. Overcast. Sunrise is at 7:47 am and sunset is at 6:58 pm.

On 16 August 2020, our temperature soared to 33C. Without air-conditioning, my place was like an oven. I knew that I was going to have to spend as much time driving my car as possible. Actually, I had already made an appointment to visit a farm in the afternoon, so I knew I was going to be driving east of the city. I also knew that I would be driving a few other backroads afterwards, though I ended up driving further than I had expected.

This was another great day, leaving home at 10:00 am and getting back fairly early evening. I enjoyed my visit to the Red Fox Farm, where I saw and photographed some of the ten beautiful mushroom species that they grow for food. All of them grow on trees in the wild. At the Farm, they grow in a special, very carefully regulated greenhouse. I absolutely love to see them as they emerge from the bags of hardwood sawdust in which the spores are placed. They grow and form the most beautiful displays.

Before getting to the farm, I had stopped briefly to take a few photos of Eastern and Western Kingbirds, After the Farm, I drove further north and came across so many Swainson's Hawks - my guess would be around 14+.

There were also several old buildings that I stopped to photograph. Some were familiar and a few were possibly new ones. When I was at my furthest north, I made the split decision to drive just a little bit further to see Sharples grain Elevator and old barn again. This was about the fourth time I had made that drive. A pleasure to look at these very old, weathered structures.

Another day of mixed sightings - the kind of day I absolutely love and find very rewarding. The heat was so awful, so I was very thankful to travel in air-conditioning. Each time I climbed out of the car to take photos, it felt like walking into an oven. Brought back many memories of climbing out of planes into the great heat of the Middle East many years ago.
