On our recent hike through the woods, we learned that this year there are the most mushrooms since at least 10 years. What we saw and could identify, was mostly inedible or poisonous.
If anybody knows what this mushroom is, please leave a comment.

May flower: the cactus that offers beauty instead of thorns:
The May flower - common name of the species Schlumbergera truncata - is one of those plants that we tend to despise most of the year. It is, after all, a true botanical commonplace:
since the days of grandma's gardens, it has been hanging around on any balcony or housed in cachepots on some furniture in the living room. It is also a champion of popularity in floras - ready to be pushed by sellers every time the consumer searches for a plant “for beginners”.
This is all true, yes. But, as I was able to feel myself this week, the fact that it is party rice does not eliminate the extraordinary value and the pleasure of having a May flower inside the house. And pleasure is precisely in the miracle that works, out of nowhere, in your metabolism. During most of the year, the May flower is a discreet little thing, with its branches formed by fragile and evergreen buds releasing at most new buds. Suddenly, sometime between the end of autumn and the beginning of winter, behold that dull plant explodes in buttons with extremely striking shapes and colors - mine, for example, pump out between May and July.

After flowering, it often withers, loses part of the buds and spends the rest of the year trying to recover from the excruciating effort of flowering.
The May flower is from the cactus family, but has no thorns. In its original habitat, the Atlantic Forest, it presents an epiphyte behavior. In other words: like orchids and many bromeliads, it uses tree trunks as a support. Thanks to horticultural improvement, the variety of colors available on the market today is immense. You can splurge, as you can see in this photo that illustrates this description, the flower of May WHITE.
Despite the fact that the May flower is a peaceful and favorable cultivation plant, some precautions are mandatory to avoid unpleasantness. Here is a basic guide to success:
1) SOIL - As it is a succulent, the may flower requires perfect drainage. She does, however, enjoy a lot of organic matter. So, plant it in pots with holes, filled with pebbles and sand at the bottom and the remaining two thirds completed with vegetable soil. Curiosity: if these conditions are met, the May flower can grow a lot and live for years in small pots.
2) WATERING - Do not overdo it and do not leave dishes filled with water under the pot, to avoid waterlogging and root rot. But also be sure to water frequently - two to four times a week, depending on the weather. She likes the slightly damp earth.
3) LUZ - This is, perhaps, the main catch. The May flower hates receiving direct sunlight, but enjoys well-lit environments. The right places for her, therefore, are balconies and bright interiors, but fresh. Or under the treetops.
4) FLOWERING - The May flower releases its buds when two variables combine: the nights become longer and the minimum temperatures are close to 10-15 degrees. And so it lives up to its name: in the Southeast of Brazil, these ideal conditions are usually registered between mid-May and the end of June.
5) POST-FLOWERING STRESS - May flower is a perennial species, that is, it does not die after giving flowers. Often, however, it cannot withstand the thud of its metabolic explosion: after so much effort, the stem buds become wilted and break easily. In the extreme, the plant dies from stress. To avoid this, it is necessary to redouble the care with nutrition. After flowering, increase the watering slightly and add a little earthworm humus or phosphorus-rich fertilizer (the “P” of the renowned NPK trio).
Last tip: take advantage of the loose buds to produce new seedlings. It's very easy, just fix a piece of them in moist soil.

I've just come back from my first time in Iceland, I could have spent days in the lagoon finding a perfect way to frame these very iconic mountains.

thank you =)
What is flickr without flowers and a jump shot? This was taken at Morro bay, Califonia.
Wow what a day! Woke up at 4am (don't ask why) ran a 5k race and missed my target by 5 seconds! (trying to break 20 min and managed a 20:04 - still very happy) and had a great time at the tax workshop...
hope you guys are also having an epic weekend!

I was holding on to this shot partly because I had some unpleasant memories associated with this. It was rainy and gloomy the entire day and right before sunset the clouds started to clear up. The place was swamped with tourists who had been cooped up indoors and now were all running around trying to get their mandatory selfie in front of the lake before the last light got snuffed away. I managed to straddle a trunk of a tree in the attempt to avoid anyone accidentally on purpose pitching a tent right in front of me. Looking behind me once in a while, I was trying to spot my son who in never failing fashion managed to fall into the freezing glacial water and got completely drenched. This is when I first spotted Her. A woman tourist was waving her hands at me in a shooing way. At first I didn't think anything of it given the distance that separated us. I thought she can't be possibly shooing me. A few minutes later it all became clear that I was indeed her intended target. She made the effort to find me and angrily told me to move out of her way because I was in the way of her cell phone selfie. I pointed to all the other tourists and told her she doesn't own the place. She continued to verbally assault me and kept demanding for me to move. To make the long story short, things got quite heated. I had to really stop and try to picture myself spending the night in a Canadian jail. I don't know if it was that image or the image of my husband and son coming to my bail hearing that kinda got me to cool off. So now that it has been a few months, I felt I could revisit the scene without cringing too much.

In summer season is a mandatory destination for thousands of tourists and is also well known for their music festival in February (halted due to Covid 19 pandemic). This picture was taken in 2018.

E' QUESTA LA MASCHERINA CHE MI PIACE.
Dal primo maggio sono scattate le nuove regole Covid: è praticamente un addio al green pass, mentre le mascherine al chiuso sono ancora obbligatorie in alcuni luoghi.
La certificazione verde non serve quasi più da nessuna parte e l'obbligo di indossare la mascherina al chiuso è stato notevolmente ridimensionato. Insomma, qualche regola ancora c'è, ma è il primo vero e proprio tentativo di ritorno alla normalità in convivenza forzata con il virus. Giusto o sbagliato che sia, infatti, il governo – allineato con quanto fatto dagli altri Paesi – ha deciso di rimuovere praticamente ogni restrizione nonostante il numero dei casi sia ancora altissimo. Certo, sappiamo bene che – soprattutto grazie ai vaccini – è molto meno probabile che chi si ammala finisca in terapia intensiva o che muoia, ma molti esperti continuano a nutrire dubbi sulla decisione di eliminare tutte le regole.
-----------------------------------------
THIS IS THE MASK I LIKE.
The new Covid rules have been activated since May 1st: it is practically a goodbye to the green pass, while indoor masks are still mandatory in some places.
Green certification is almost nowhere to be used anymore and the obligation to wear a mask indoors has been significantly reduced. In short, there are still some rules, but it is the first real attempt to return to normalcy in forced coexistence with the virus. Right or wrong, in fact, the government - aligned with what has been done by other countries - has decided to remove practically all restrictions despite the fact that the number of cases is still very high. Of course, we know that - especially thanks to vaccines - those who fall ill are much less likely to end up in intensive care or die, but many experts continue to have doubts about the decision to eliminate all the rules.

This mural precedes current 'pandemonium' probably by few years. I took the photo in the middle of February, when the Covid19 was still considered a flu in many countries. Vietnam has until now very good (official) record with limiting the spread.
Vietnam has issued regulations making it mandatory for all citizens to wear face masks while outdoors. The law is enforced, and even the fines are by Canadian standards low (about $10), it is hitting hard people in Vietnam. I received few masks for free, while traveling in Vietnam, so no reason not to wear them. The MANDATORY order was issued, 2 weeks after I left.
