Mr.Durer


“Study nature diligently. Be guided by nature and do not depart from it, thinking you can do better yourself. You will be misguided, for truly art is hidden in nature and he who can draw
it out possesses it”
Albrecht Durer

I really like the painting called 'Turf' by Mr. Durer. It is of simple common 'weeds' but it is so alive and has an almost modern art feel to it.

Fungi in the Park.


We are getting closer and closer to our big move back up to Utah so we took the time today to meet up with my former coworker, Kira Henderson, at a local park, Baroldi Sycamore Park.
While there I found a nice grouping of Fungi growing among the roots of a large tree, so took a few pics.

Then to my surprise while cleaning up the patio this afternoon I discovered we have a nice little colony of our own Fungi.




So I had to move a nice clump into the ol' terrarium.



I know that it will not live long under glass but I like how it looks and maybe it will spring forth new fungi in the future.

Next I will post a few images of Nature showing its will of survival making its mark in and around Los Angeles while I was out on one of my last shopping excursions before we leave... It may be my last.....
