"Life is like an ever-shifting kaleidoscope - a slight change, and all patterns alter."

~ Sharon Salzberg

Yesterday, we cut down an old Hawthorne tree that appeared to be diseased. This is the stump of the tree that remains on the ground and I must say I was quite amazed at the pattern we discovered within the tree trunk!

 

I can see an angel although my wife can see a bird - regardless what a natural pattern!

Polyporus squamosus (Polyporaceae - Polyporacées)

 

Common name: pheasant-back mushroom.

 

It is a fairly good edible mushroom that must be eaten young, later it becomes hard and can then cause digestive disorders.

 

C'est un assez bon champignon comestible qui doit être consommé jeune, plus tard il devient dur et peut alors causer des troubles digestifs.

Every morning there are different patterns in the ice on my windshield.

I thought these were just water droplets until I turned on my windshield wipers and realized they were frozen. One taken from inside the car, one from outside.
