Have a great weekend all my Flickr friends and thank you for all your kind comments and faves. Taken in my garden, one of the last this year.
Taken yesterday at a very soggy Cassiobury Farm and Fishery in Watford. A place well worth visiting on a dry day but most of the animals were sheltering from the persistent heavy rain. It is only open to the public four times a year so it was busy in spite of the weather. I would like to have taken more photos but couldn`t risk the camera getting wet. My three grandkids enjoyed the puddles though!! Have a good week everyone!
The Iowa River photographed at Tower Rock Park in Hardin County, Iowa. The river is extremely low, the area in the foreground (where I am standing) was under water last year.

Another shot of this butterfly in my garden just two weeks ago. Poor thing must be drowned by now! Have a lovely Sunday everyone!
Found these this morning, while on a walk with Marnie (of course) ! I don't have a clue what type of mushroom they are. Does anyone know ?
Thanks for every fave and comment - and maybe identity ?
Happy Wednesday evening and the rest of your week !
Update : I now believe they're oyster mushrooms. Edible 😃

... Animals SOOC.
Oh how I hated doing this. There are so many things I would have done in post-processing to make it look better, but I wasn't allowed to.

... Mushrooms.
Panther cap ~ Amanita pantherina.
I did take a short walk over to the car park to get a better photo of the fungus that I'd found there. Sadly, I didn't manage a better photo. The ISO was horribly high and I couldn't get it down, the light wasn't being my friend today.
So it's one from the archives, which isn't on my photostream as far as I can find. It might be on my other free account, but I didn't check that one.

I was driving down the canyon road at Ledges State Park near Boone, Iowa and stopped to take this photo. This was probably "the peak" of the wonderful Autumn color here.

Delicious fruit, but sadly all out of reach, since they trimmed the tree. Drat.
