Fungus Among Us
Saturday a group of friends and I hiked the 4 mile looped trail around the Woodridge Area of Clinton Lake in Douglas County. The rain we’ve had over the last week spurred lots of mushrooms and fungi out of the ground. I’ve never seen so many varieties before on one outing. Today I’m heading out for a quiet night at a cabin at a county lake to watch the annual Perseid meteor shower. It should be a good show. And I’m sure lots of photos will come out of my evening and morning explorations. Til next time…

Polyphemus Moth #2
I encountered my second ever Polyphemus Moth over the weekend. And strangely it was in the exact same spot as the first one that I saw over two years ago, give or take a few inches… This one seemed to be sleeping. As it got dark, it moved a bit, and by morning had left. As far as I know, they move about at night and only live about a week or so.. Here’s a link to the photo of the first one I saw in 2011, taken after it had dropped to the ground off the door: https://ruralpearl.com/blog/?p=2737
Country Driving
I’ve been taking a few days off after several weeks of straight work & travel… Back to the grind tomorrow to prepare for The Uptown Art Fair coming up in Minneapolis, MN. Today, I hit the gravel roads for some re-connection to my favorite things.

Born Again
My friend Laura and I discovered this cicada emerging from it’s shell on my front steps this morning. I, of course, had to grab my camera and get all up in it’s face… rather intriguing.
Off to Wisconsin, I am, for the Art Fair on the Square. Til next time..
