Dora's Page: An often-daily photoblog to assure Connie's Mom that we are Not Dead Yet. ---Dora's Page looks best when your browser has a full widescreen size, with this headline on one line. (I hate tiny web-sized photos; these are big.)

(I forgot to upload yesterday, so yesterday's post will be today's)

October 18: Keep Your Eyes Open

We were out for a walk, and Connie went right past this along the walkway, but I spotted them and stopped. Never saw mushrooms in my life like these, what colours.

Even I hadn't noticed, until I took the shot, that the little patch beside the walkway was a haven for fungi. There were three varieties: the red ones, white ones that looked like they were from Safeway, and the flat ones at left. Heh, flowers aren't the only Fall gardens around here!
