A winter’s worth of ice patterns on my windshield.

These are tiny white field snails, about the size of your little finger nail......interesting patterns and colours.

Freezing cold outside, warm and cozy inside this month. But the spring flowers have started blooming!

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

This gorgeous Queen Anne's Lace is growing all over the place where I live! There's something to be said about living in the country. You see so many beautiful wildflowers everywhere.

Explored, thanks all

Kings Canyon is a unique and spectacular collection of landforms located midway between Alice Springs and Uluru (Ayers Rock) in central Australia. This image was captured fairly late in the afternoon toward the end of the Kings Canyon Rim walk.

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.
