Oak Bracket (Pseudoinonotus dryadeus)

"A distinguishing feature of this orange-brown bracket fungus is that its felted surface exudes amber droplets, most noticeably towards the broad growing margin. Although commonly referred to as the Oak Bracket, Pseudoinonotus dryadeus also occurs sometimes on beech, birch and alder trees."

This is another old building bracket I found in my clean up to wrap up a shacks series. Some time ago, when photography under real clouds and skies was possible, eDDie and I hit the Elk Mountain area in southern Wyoming. We headed along a valley back to Medicine Bow after we left Elk Mountain, Wyoming. eDDie decided to return to Medicine Bow over the old bridge, past the elegant hotel and down the valley. Well, we had to stop for a couple of old structures on the way and keep scouting possible venues and we happened upon this old collapsing log ranch house. I like the textures and the materials on old structures - as long as this is still vertical. Along the canyon from a beaver slide hay rake, we found this old place on it's last legs. I had my long lens on the camera and the wind continually buffeted me more and more so that this was the best I could do. Eddie and I debated how the pasture might have been cleared of sage. Medicine Bow should not be far now. We will be coming in from the south and head for Bosler and Laramie on the way home. I shot the wider view and related the old cabin to the cattle. Eddie should have a far tighter shot having trekked over to the cabin while I thought about the scene.

 

I am sure there were other shots around if I could have poked long enough. It seems that I am forever haunted leaving a location thinking I missed a multitude of shots if I could just work harder and observe more. Eddie and I always take different takes at any given location, don't know why that is; it just is. I have a shot of a Beaver slide and I had seen them in the Colorado River Valley wondering all the time about their function. It was a push type hay rake invented in Montana and built from native wood. Ingenious, really. Find a Grant-Korrs video of operation on Youtube.

With a day off, Grady and I set off for a little central Illinois exploration. I had wanted to get a couple of trains on the NS Brooklyn District around Midway Siding as it was protected by bracket post signals and searchlights at both ends. I believe these signals date from when the N&W single tracked the Brooklyn District from BD Jct (Decatur) to Poag Jct (Edwardsville area). Curiously, from Winston Interlocking south became CTC but Litchfield north stayed ABS. Midway siding is roughly "mid-way" between Litchfield and Taylorville with the south switch at Raymond and the north switch at Harvel. Bonus in my book was Triple Crown train 260 rolling north past the South Siding Switch of Midway in Raymond, IL. 8320 was tugging on a monster train of roadrailers!

These lovely bracket fungi were growing on a tree at Hanningfield Reservoir Nature Reserve! I'm not doing well finding an ID! Any ideas?

A bit of engineering magic

I have never seen these before, chance find on a walk today.

The man who owns this small private wood is a menber of the fungus group. He took on a very neglected patch and is working to restore diversity. Dead wood is left lying and pathways are narrow. It has the River Trent along one side and there are Otters and Kingfishers. He has trail cams and has filmed many animal species. There are a lot of Sycamore trees at present. These are being thinned out one or two a year and native species are planted to replace them.

Scaffolding went up this week, which means the builders will soon be working on the room above the new garage, and the roof :)

Who says winter photography is boring or dull? Seek color, and ye shall find it.

A stack of about nine images to get front to back sharpness on this bracket fungus.

Thank you everyone who visits, faves and comments.

This fungus is a Polypore named for its surface texture / appearance. Originally white to off-white, the surface often becomes discolored with an accumulation of algae as seen here.

In 2023 I'm using as many of my half-frame cameras as I can. These are 8 bracketed frames were taken with an Olympus Pen-D on expired Fuji Velvia slide film, cross-processed processed in the Fuij Hunt C41 kit.

Bracketing of 9 images (0, +-0,7, +-1,4, +-2.1, +-2.8 EV) merged toghether with Photomatix.

Final result merged with +-2.8 and 0 EV images in Photoshop.

When the Bronco was introduced in the mid-sixties, its main competition was the Scout 800 and the Jeep CJ-5, both spartan vehicles to say the least. By the early seventies, with the introduction of the Chevrolet Blazer and the Scout II, it became painfully obvious that the Bronco was beginning to fall behind the competition. In 1973, Ford finally answered the calls for modernization by introducing the C-4 automatic transmission option and optional power steering. The C-4 had ratios of 2.46:1 low, 1.46 second, and 1:1 third. The power steering box was a Saginaw unit with 5.3 turns lock-to-lock. The base engine was bumped from 170 to 200 cubic inches. The J-handle transfer case shifter was introduced shortly after the model year began and the low range transfer case ratio became 2.34:1. These changes helped push early Bronco sales to their second best year ever: 26,300.
