Haven't visited these woods for a while, but very glad we did. Masses of fungi, all shapes and colours.
We put this sign up when the leasing comany who owns our house started sending people into our yard to do maintenence without calling us. The dogs aren't dangerous, but the sign pretty much fixed the problem.
A couple of weeks ago, someone hung this cat collar on the gate above the sign. Why? I've no idea. We don't own a cat, out dogs have never killed a cat, and we don't know anyone in our neighborhood who owns a cat. It's a mystery.
Really Cool: These vases have a permanent reflection, different from the real one in the room. From an exhibition by Front Design. More info www.frontdesign.se
False day flower (Commelinantia anomala).
This Mickey Mouse flower is the "false" version of the day flower, otherwise known as Widows' Tears. Both are common wayside flowers, but the false day flower is more lilac. The day flower is blue.
Had the image been of just one flower, it wouldn't have made as a good picture in my opinion. I liked how both aligned to make a pleasing arrangement. I photographed it in a local park. Incidentally, I came back to the same spot some time later and found that all the flowers were mowed down. I asked the groundskeeper why they were all gone and was told that they consider them weeds and wack 'em down whenever they can. GAH!!
Aureolaria laevigata flowering on Grandfather Mountain. Not the best-looking flower but this was one of only two open flowers I could find and it was the one in better shape. If I have time to go back, I'll try for a better picture. They were growing along the Woods Walk in several places. These plants are semi-parasitic on oak roots and hard to preserve in herbarium collections as they tend to turn black when collected.
Looking out over False Creek at the Burrard Bridge, which links South Vancouver with Downtown.
Downtown is built on a peninsular jutting out into the water and surrounded by it on three sides. It has been populated since the 19th century and is now home to numerous skyscrapers and large apartment blocks, as well as being the heart of the city’s business life.
Stanley Park sits on the end of the peninsular and covers more than 1,000 acres, making it larger than Central Park in New York.
Downtown is linked to North Vancouver and South Vancouver by a number of bridges.
I think this Gorgeous Fungi is False Turkeytail or Stereum Hirsutum, a Hardwood-loving Crust Fungus, and some Moss. Please tell me if I've identified it correctly.

I made a false table so I could cut up small pieces of wood safely and quickly on my bandsaw.
It works great and I can now cut my pieces to size very quickly.
A small addition after these were taken was to mark on a scale so I could cut to the correct length quickly.
