Fungi photographed in Elfin Glen near Ramsey, Isle Of Man. Fabulous place that pretty much lives up to its name.
A beautiful sunrise after a whole night of rain. One of the popular backcountry camping in British Columbia. The crystal clear lake surrounded by majestic mountains is worthy to hike for 6 to 8 hours.
I spent most of my day following an established track.
Wondering what I might see from a little different perspective, sometimes I would break trail and explore.
This was one of those times.
Please forgive, but just couldn't toss these individual ones without uploading (with a little edit that makes a big difference)

Not all of the mint was out yet but there were a couple of Pine Elfins dining (Lost Creek area, Lassen National Forest)
Found some of these in the Gold Creek Valley yesterday, after not seeing them there for a year or two. They tend to grow under conifers, where they're somewhat difficult to spot. Also known as Fluted Black Elfin Saddle. Helvella vespertina
Mt Baker-Snoqualmie Nat'l Forest, WA
One of the rarest birds in the world. First described to science in 1972. Fewer than 1800 are known to exist, found only on two isolated mountaintops.

Elfin Lakes has a great shelter. Heated, solar-powered lights, stove and pots, sleeps 33 upstairs, many drying hooks, etc. Our group of 3 had the place to ourselves last Friday night. Naturally, Glenn decides to sleep outside and tested out his winter stuff. After having the clouds thicken and block most of sunset, it was lovely to have them move along. Leaving us a clear night and a crisp blue morning.
His tent is on one of the newly-constructed pads near the lake. The Mamquam area mountains are to the East. I'm guessing the glow is due to the light noise created by Vancouver, which is about an hour drive plus 3 hours hike away. It was -12 at night with very little snow.
Based on the number of hikers we passed on the way out, it looked like Saturday night would be much less quiet - around 25 people with overnight gear.
Thursday nights light show above Elfin Lakes in Garibaldi Provincial Park, BC. Good thing I poked my head out of the text in the middle of the night.

El Moro Elfin Forest,
Los Osos, California
On a warm morning with a few wildflowers out, it felt like spring was in the air.
Deep in the wild woods I came across this .........."for centuries now it has been the home of fairies, gnomes, elves, imps, and pixies. In the nooks and crannies they lurk, or peer out of holes and crevices, their natural windows and doorways. It is their hiding-place by day, their revelry place by night, and when the great moon tops the bare branchless tree the Elfin Clans come out to play and frolic in the moonlight"
Noblex 6/150 camera f/5.6 @ 1/30th, Ilford Delta 400 developed with Crawley's FX-37 1:5 8 minutes 20C, Nikkor tank, inversions every 30 seconds for 4 minutes, once a minute thereafter. Howell Creek where it flows underneath Cox Store Road, Floyd County, Virginia.
Printed delicately, as a Pictorialist might.
I know I posted a somewhat similar shot a while back but I never really liked the forced crop it had. Instead this is a 6 shot pano, taken a little further away, to allow more sky and width. Plus I like the difference in tone and saturation.
