The amazing world of fungi – in pictures

That looks exactly like my collection

Skwish!

Especially when it has to describe the story too.

Lots of round paintings mounted beautifully on a white wall.

Lots of round paintings mounted beautifully on three white walls.

I have two paintings in this show, which is exciting. I'm intensely impressed by the skill of whomever hung all these...we had to supply our own mounting hardware, which meant there was no way to do the hanging math other than painstakingly plotting the right spot for the nail on every single piece.

They're on the verge of tanking the economy over a poorly performing database using something that amounts to a shuffle algorithm.

My fur-faces and their devotion.

What a beauty.

Getting real tired of finding big wolf spiders next to my bed every night, universe. Can I get a break please?

I finished it last night. It was a wonderful trip with a bunch of surprises I didn't see coming. A bit of face rain at the end. :-)

I'm a "lifting things" young person at our trail-maintenance group and the "night owl" on the security company's call list for a heritage building in my town. We're essential cogs. It's not glamorous, but it's honest work.

Probably goes back to our tree-dwelling ancestors 🤔 . The forest floor was a long way down.

Mine got delivered a few days ago by Indigo but I'm behaving and haven't opened it yet. Very excited though! Congrats.

It bugs me that we can't trade those, too.

Not a bad way to start the week! #pogo #pokemongo

Looking for #Pokémon Go friends in the #icysnow #sandstorm and #ocean regions. I can send gifts from the polar region. #scatterbug

Well, if it isn't the exact formula for every sci-fi show and film I've been bored by for the last ten years.

I went through that too. But now I wouldn't give mine back.

I swear by HRT, personally. I hit menopause last year sometime, and only really go treated for it once the symptoms were intolerable. The HRT makes me feel 10 years younger and will protect you against osteoporosis. Might be worth talking to your doc about.

Also, my profile photo is an acrylic painting.

I just got through my last battle league fight that I needed for level 44, but I'm happy to battle friends if needed.

That was how I discovered him, when I was 12. <3

It was a tough read for me. Knocked a few people off pedestals for sure.
