And there are three mushrooms in a row on TN! It must be good fungus weather in a lot of places. It's certainly wet enough here. I like your photo of the Slippery Jack but it's missing one of the diagnostics of the species, the ring or annulus around its stem. Even without it, I agree that it's probably Suillus luteus as there aren't many mushrooms with that slippery looking brown cap, but, like you, I wouldn't eat it.

This is a very nice photo of an extremely invasive species, beautifully positioned across the frame in the sharpest detail.
This variety of Phragmites is an introduced species into Delaware Bay and its tidal tributaries where it crowds out native species. It was introduced to the Delaware area in about 1920 as a control to erosion with no thought to its effect on the native ecosystem. It is such a problem that the state of Delaware offers to share the cost of its control with private landowners.

LOL, just like the children's book. This is a nice urban wildlife shot.

This is a lovely delicately colored image of a feeding Rosefinch, who posed for you most cooperatively. I have a comment and a question. The comment is that sharpness is sometimes a function of the computer screen the photo is being viewed on, and with my computer, the sharpness is acceptable. The question is, why are your many of your photos taken at ISO 800? I prefer to use a lower ISO whenever possible to lower of background noise.

Hi Michael,
You have photographed a colorful wet mosaic that just happens to be leaves. I like the contrast with the rock. Well seen.

Hi Michael,
This is a well composed photo of a beautiful waterfall, a true scenic attraction. I can almost feel the spray.

Hello from Wisconsin!
Yes, this definitely is a WOL (Pooh Bear's owl) tree with Virginia creeper cloaking its fall into decay. I'm glad you didn't try to climb it!
The upward line of the tree makes for a good composition, and the subdued colors give a thoughtful mood. It would be interesting to see this on a sunny day, but that doesn't always happen when we have time to photograph.

An usually view of a spider and its web. The spider almost luminous and the web clearly defined makes for a very effective photo. I like it very much.

Hello Marcelo,
This is very unusual fungi, photographed so that it has my full attention. Their clarity and color is amazing. Do you know what its species is?

BTW By chance there are three fungi photos in a row. You imported the first, I the second and Ron the third!
