This summer has been highly unusual as to the amounts of moisture we have been getting. I have heard that we have broken some 100 year record....and I believe it.
In the mountains its welcome as the flowers are rocking out as well as othe species of flora and fauna. On flat gorund, where I work in the construction industry it equate to 16 weekends of rain making site work impossible. For instance we have been trying to pave this site since April
The mushroom 
pictured here measured in excess of 17" we have seen all types in all sorts of strange locations. And the flowers here are found on our property and yes, some were planted, but most have occurred freely.

This summer the grass in some areas is five feet high, making the horses look like they are floating as they move from one place to another and making the Ninja Pony totally disppear!
The moisture has been amazing, and your photos are beautiful!
ReplyDeleteBelieve it or not, my K became obsessed with eating mushrooms as a puppy. She almost died after eating one above Aspen a number of years ago. Thank goodness that her mushroom obsession hasn't taken over this year. I've been watching her like a hawk but she trots past the amazing array of mushrooms that I've never seen before.
I hope that none of your animals decide to take up shrooms!
So far so good on the "shroom" front. Johnny does sniff at flowers ....I was amazed! He actually goes to a low hanging lilac and gives it a little sniff.....I can only imagine what its like with an enhanced olfactory.
ReplyDeleteBTW nice to see you back.....looks like you had a great time!
