Fluffy enchantment,
I do partake of your flesh.
Colour-my-numbers.

Working a Client property in the hills above Highlands, NC on Wednesday, luck would hold that I found a rather large morel morchella esculenta mushroom at the base of a support for the covered breezeway.

Not the largest I've found, but, still, it was more than a handful :)

Cloudy day color;
Smack-dab in the middle of
South Carolina.

An acorn is not
A crime against an oak tree.
Nor is a fungus.

Oops...

Surface-area.
For what are you listening?
Can you hear me now?

Fascinated with fungal fruiting bodies, I found this puff-ball in the woods of South Georgia, Tuesday, and I became lost in the contrast between the coarseness of its expression, and how very alive it truly was.

A hard decision:
On the lawn, or a mushroom?
If I were a toad.

Solar collector.
Captor to both life, and death.
Open, and waiting.
