Nature amazes me.

Now it doesn’t really take much to amaze my little mind but sometimes I am truly taken aback by the beauty in our world.

Fed Ex left a package on my porch that belonged to a neighbor about 5 houses down our street.  Not sure why but it gave me a chance to take a little hike down the road to deliver it. As I walked down their driveway I saw this amazing tree with fungus growing all up and down the trunk.

It made me stop and take a second look. And then I had to take some photographs.

I really can’t pick a favorite out of these pictures because they all have really great parts in them.  The light may not have been perfect in all of them but I still love them.  Isn’t nature so cool?

Obviously you can tell we live in a very moist and rainy climate.  It is actually classified as a rainforest.  Chris did not really divulge that to me when we were buying our home but I guess I should have been smart enough to figure that out since every time we visited it rained.  Every. Single. Time.   (I never said I am observant.)

Nature continually intrigues me and these fungi were pretty darn captivating.  I am trying to open my eyes more, see the beauty all around me and on this dreary fall day I did find the extraordinary in the ordinary.

Tell me, have you seen anything extraordinary lately?  I would love to read about it in the comments so please Comment for a Cause.
