The color becomes brighter each day and since the rest of the week is forecast to be cold and yukky, I took the camera and got some recent foliage shots.

New England Autumn
The very best time of year (in my opinion) is here…it comes along so quickly and each good day must be cherished because the frigid temperatures are on the way. I do like the snow, but all color fades for the winter so this is our burst – the foliage – to hold us over till next Spring.

The Mushrooms are Blooming
Lately there are numerous mushrooms in the yard and in the woods. Today is sunny and cool and too gorgeous to be inside working…so I took a break and took the camera out to get some mushroom pictures.
I have tried to identify these by using my Field Guide to New England, but I am not an expert by any means so if I have named something incorrectly I’d appreciate the heads up.
According to the field guide, there are at least 10 deadly poisonous species of mushroom in New England. I sure didn’t know that. In fact I never knew the name of any mushrooms until today. Like my seashell collection, I like them… but never really cared what they were called.
This yellow/orange mushroom is the Fly Amanita and I think the little one (below) is a “baby” since it was growing in the same area as the others, but I am not sure.
The red one below is also poisonous, but doesn’t say “deadly poisonous” like the one pictured above.
You can read more about the Emetic Russula mushroom on the site link, but I find it interesting that the site doesn’t mention that this one is poisonous.

Sunrise Pink Sky Photos
On my way back into the house from starting the car this morning, I noticed the sky. As I went in through the slider, my son said “Wow, come look at the sky”.
I told him I’d try to get a photo, but we had to hurry because a pretty sunrise can be gone in an instant. He got his camera and the two of us stood on the deck and got some photos.
A marvelous gift on the first day of Fall.
Then it was off to the bus stop, which is down by the lake – where I thought the sky would be spectacular. Instead a large dark cloud was moving in over the water and blocking out most of the sky.
