Mic drop for the Woodland Pinedrop. Hoping to oil paint some of these this year. Stunning little saprophytic mushroom plant related to the blueberry. Typically found at high elevations near dead old growth trees. Check my highlights for the Pinedrop folder with more of these and similar. PS The patient dog in the background is Koda.

The female White-headed woodpecker and Mountain Chickadee from October 22, 2020. At first only the male woodpeckers were coming by, but after some time the females began to show face too. Such sweet birds that will look you in the eye. They seem to appreciate the water source.
