House flags and funnel marks

Loch Shiel is surrounded by mountains all along its 27 km long sides. Sometimes it rains alot and huge waterfalls appear on the sides of the mountains, pouring water into the Loch. I passed by the Loch Shiel jetty this afternoon (the end of it was underwater) and observed the water level has risen by around 4 feet in just a few days. That's an enormous amount of water that has flowed into the Loch.
A funnel mushroom emerges from the soil, with the upturned cup showing the delicately frilled undersides.

My current ID: Funnel Clitocybe (Clitocybe gibba)
I find mushrooms (all fungus actually) a challenge to identify so I'll do my best with what I find online but please feel free to suggest your own ID in a comment.

Not sure if all those squiggles are funnels but what else can they be? There is also something that looks like a water spout on the top right. Crazy weather!
Growing among the Autumn debris I came across this bright Giant Funnel mushroom, as had other creatures judging by the myriad of pockmarks across the cap.

I’m quite sure this isn’t the same funnel cloud as earlier but it looked a lot more likely to touch down. It eventually faded but again, a great sight to see
Mistaken Identity. These are likely to be the Clouded Funnels (Clitocybe nebularis) and not as I initially thought the Livid Pinkgills (Entoloma sinuatum). Thank you miketaylor11 for ID correction. Still look attractive and not as poisonous (Phew) and could be even edible, but www.wildfooduk.com/mushroom-guide/clouded-agaric/. Old arboretum. Westonbirt Arboretum, South Gloucestershire, England.
Walking along the Air Canal in Rotterdam.
The Luchtsingel ("air canal") elevated walkway was constructed to revitalise a rundown part of central Rotterdam, and connect together several areas of the city.

We took a 13 hour drive down one of the Forestry Roads bordering the Rocky Mountains yesterday. A very satisfying day with many photo opportunities! We saw so many Hawks, 3 Turkey Vultures, 5 Pelicans and a Mama Osprey with her chick; over a 100 wild horses - not to mention the magnificent scenery!
Driving home, we watched the sky changing from puffy, softly floating cotton candy clouds, to darkening grey clouds and then threatening skies. We had a superb vantage point with travelling down all the endless open country side that gave us the best view of the changing sky. We stopped one last time on a gravel road to let the dogs stretch their legs for the last few hours till we got home. I got out of the truck and looked at the cloud that I had been keeping my eye on for quite some time. It metamorphosed before our eyes as our dogs pranced around the field. The most scary part was not the swirling blackness but the aqua coloured blue that formed a ribbon dancing in amongst the cloud. The last time I saw this colour of blue in the sky was our devastating tornado, dubbed Black Friday 34 years ago on July 30, 1987. Twenty-seven people tragically perished.
Apparently, there were alerts put out for the Red Deer area but we were off the grid for hours in the bush and had no cell coverage.
We watched this cloud as it swiftly moved right over on top of us and I have to say that I felt like I was in the movie Twister. The speed at which everything began to happen is mind blowing. The temperature dropped 10 degrees; the wind came up with a vengeance; the thunder echoed from the blackness and the lightening flared across the sky.
It was nothing short of excilerating! As the Genie was let loose out of the bottle, we were suddenly reminded of our mortality. We quickly scooted the pups back into the truck and as we shut the doors we were assaulted with large balls of hail. Our new truck! OMG!
I drove like a madwomen trying to skirt the anger of the storm.
Two hours later we were back at home completely drained. The evening sky was calm and showed no evidence of what we had gone through. How quickly life can change!
After a glass of wine, I crossed something off of my Bucket List - Becoming a storm Chaser. NOT HAPPENING!
