Haymaker's/Mower's Mushroom (Panaeolus foenisecii)
For Macro Mondays - Odd
These tiny mushrooms - the largest here being just 8 mm diameter were in Kath's lawn today.
Happy Macro Monday!
Taken for the macro mondays weekly assignment: cloth/Textile My late grandfather gave my dad this vest several years ago and my dad gave it to me about four years ago. Someday I will be able to give this to one of my sons. Top quality, in its day it must have costed a fortune.
For Window Wednesday.

The birdie population in SoCal is just exploding everywhere. It was another May Gray day at the pond today, but just delightful. There were lots of scurrying little shorebirds, turf interactions, etc. not to mention some mating amongst friends. Here an American Avocet with one of her chicks. Check it large!

Havinng a splashing time celebrating my umpteenth bath day in the company of my eldest granddaughter, back in 2004. Of course there were no masks in those "happy days".
Tip of the day :
In order to achieve this astonishing effect, you’ll need an olympic-size bathtub with loads of suds (or snow if you're into¹ snow bathing) and you’ll also need a beautiful granddaughter! Now if you happen to be a beautiful granddaughter, then you may be looking for a granddad but, not to worry, they’re two a penny² these days.
The picture was taken by her father who was 'filling the gap', so to speak! I just titivated it a bit and called it mine; so it's not exactly a selfie but every bit as good as. It is therefore signed Kittymax & Son, he took the photo and I salvaged it but don't tell him I said that for heaven's sake!
Zoom right in, on full screen, but don't fall in!
Scroll down the page a little to see the original, patriotic version: Red, White ans Blue! Perhaps a little too patriotic; hence the B&W.
Take great care and many, many thanks for calling,
Colin ...
¹ to be into something = aimer faire quelque chose
² to be two (or ten) a penny = courir les rues

Had a fun shoot the other day with a BMW E92 M3 and a F80 M3. Which one do you prefer, coupe or sedan? Personally I prefer the F80 sedan, I just love the fact it looks so much wider than the E92.

Three generations happily spending their Sunday morning fishing.
Takes me back over 50 years ago when I was doing the same thing but with less sophisticated equipment. What I caught was cooked for my lunch. I ate well.
I conclude this series of pictures at Chinese New Year with these two delightful people. They looked so proud having their picture taken at the New Year celebrations
Dead beech trees are falling down to the earth for new generation. It's the important reason for being here.

Old Oak: “We are far from the only trees here. But it is we, the oaks, who determine the life of this forest. If you ask one of the scientists, he will say that we are edificators. This means that if there is no us, then this forest will not exist. Everything will be overgrown with birches. There will be a completely different community, and for many who live here today, there will be no place in it.»
It was fun to observe an intriguing behaviour of the family of Common Moorhen (Gallinula chloropus) on a duckweed-covered pond. On the left, there are two immature chicks sharing the nest (just about) with one adult parent arriving with food. If you look closer, the heads of two recently hatched chicks looking for food can be seen at the rare of two older siblings; in fact there are at least three younger chicks. What happened next was that one of the big chicks got the food from the adults. Luckily, the third immature chick arrived at the nest and gave some food to one younger sibling (image on the right).
I have seen this amazing behaviour for the first time and somewhat puzzling to me until I read Tim Welling’s narrative (www.flickr.com/photos/timmelling/54682384374/in/dateposted/). Tim so well described this unique behaviour of Moorhen when more than one generation lives together and helps each other – thanks Tim!
The scientific name translates as a ‘little hen’ with ‘green foot’ derived from the Latin species name ‘Gallinula’ and from the Greek specific epithet name ‘chloropus’, respectively.

This is a rework of an older post. Selective colour, bit of a contrast tweak, etc... whatever, I like it 😀

GÉNÉRATION
En hommage à Florence, ma petite-fille, qui m’a spontanément proposé le titre de cette image.
__________
Sur ces rivages bordés d’infini, un père initie son jeune fils à l’art de la pêche en eau peu profonde. Au premier abord, on pourrait croire qu’il s’agit d’une simple scène de pêche, pourtant…
Dans nos sociétés, l’idée de génération est souvent réduite à une opposition statique entre le passé et l’avenir, entre l’ancien et le nouveau. Je crois plutôt qu’il faut y voir un mouvement, un mouvement continu de transmission et d’évolution des connaissances et des mentalités humaines. En somme, cette transmission, notamment par la filiation, permets à l’originel de rester original et de poursuivre l’aventure humaine. * Ce que nous appelons « l’avenir » est, en fait, le résultat de l’interaction et de la transmission par toutes les générations. **
_________
Ici, sur ces rivages bien en retrait des mondes utopiques qui alimentent la fureur de nos sociétés, le père et le fils renouent avec la patience et la modestie fondamentale de l’existence des êtres. Et aussi avec l’enchantement originel devant la beauté et le mystère de notre monde.
La pêche aura été un bon prétexte pour cela.

GENERATION
In honor of Florence, my granddaughter, who spontaneously suggested the title of this image.
__________
On these shores bordered by infinity, a father introduces his young son to the art of shallow-water fishing. At first glance, one might think this is a simple fishing scene, yet...
In our societies, the idea of generation is often reduced to a static opposition between past and future, between old and new. Instead, it should be seen as a movement, a continuous movement of transfer and evolution of knowledge and human mentalities. In short, this transfer, particularly through filiations (kinship), allows the original to remain original and to continue the human adventure.* What we call the future is, in fact, the result of all these generations interacting.
._________
Here, on these shores far removed from the utopian worlds that fuel the fury of our societies, father and son reconnect with the patience and fundamental modesty of being. Also with the original enchantment in front of the beauty and mystery of our world.
Fishing was a good excuse for this.
