fall at my feet

this year i have noticed more than before how abundant the landscape here is in autumn.
mother nature ever providing.
i wish i understood mushrooms more. there are just so many types out there that resemble each other, and even whilst using the huge database of pictures on the net to discern whether or not i have picked a delicious edible or the most poisonous schroom on earth, its almost impossible to make a concrete decision.
the temperature has really dropped & i am starting now to struggle with dressing in more layers and wanting to leave the house. this week i have ridden 40kms, and i am not sure if i'll be adding any more to the total.

on my travels today


stopped many times to snap all these little beauties while riding today.
i was stunned by all the colour hanging around even in freezing fog at 2 degrees. how do these little delicate things stand this weather???

skyping with bikini clad family and hearing about how happy they are that the southerly has just arrived while i being mesmerised by the frost and thick fog hampering my ability to see more than 30 metres in front of me, was to put it mildly,
totally like living in a parallel universe.
