Anne Elliott's photos with the keyword: underneath

I always love mushroom gills - to me, the underneath of a cap can be even more beautiful than the top. I was rather intrigued by the pattern on the stalk. Seen on 3rd August last year, on a hike at Marston Creek, Kananaskis.

Apologies to Doug for "stealing" his icon, LOL! I forgot all about posting this image - I uploaded a different shot of this brilliant orange fungus ages ago, but its background was green, I think, with trees or bushes in the background. Photographed on 14th October 2008, so just over a year ago. Doug, it will probably give you a weird feeling when you see "your icon" posted : ) Thanks to Doug for the ID, Pycnoporus cinnabarinus, "Cinnabar-red Polypore". Found in Griffith Woods on 14th October 2008, just over a year ago. I did it again - why do I do it?? After a volunteer shift this afternoon, I decided to dash just southwest of the city to try and get a few sky shots, as we had a pretty good build up of cloud. Now, just a week after washing my car, it is once again covered in mud from the muddy, snowy (which I hadn't expected), gravel side roads. As often seems to happen, the sky looked more dramatic in person than in a photo - but, knowing I will have to wash my car again so soon, I will find at least one photo to upload - if it kills me, LOL!

I would have prefered a photo of the other side of this large Orb-Weaver spider, but the only ones I managed to get of the upperside were when it had crawled along its web and half disappeared behind leaves - and these shots came out too blurry. Seen on a hike in the Porcupine Hills on private property, back on 5th September.
