Orange Beauty by Carla Jandelle Petters
These amazing little orange mushrooms are a variety of Marasmius…some of the worlds smallest mushrooms belong to this family. / The height on these were almost 2 inches…the cap only about 1cm. / Found on a NE Kansas foray on a property COVERED in woods…A first-time find for me. Most everyone else had stepped past them as they’d seen this species in several other spots. I guess I was slow. We had about 15 people on the hike including my son and another member’s granddaughter. A GREAT hike…starting with an amazing amount growing on HORSE PUCKY! I couldn’t have driven home happy right after seeing that display. I tend to walk slowly so everyone was done except the leader of our group who stayed back with me to hunt (probably because he was afraid I’d get lost).

Wood Anemones by Jane Best
Forest floor covered with Wood Anemones. Early morning in late April in Great Smoky Mountains National Park, Tennessee. Anemone quinquefolia is an early-spring flowering plant in the genus Anemone, native to North America. It is commonly called Wood Anemone, though it is not to be confused with Anemone nemorosa, a European species. It is a perennial herbaceous plant, growing in early spring to 10-30 cm tall, and dying back down to the root-like rhizomes by mid summer. The rhizomes, that spread just below the earth surface, grow quickly, contributing to its rapid spread in woodland conditions, where it can carpet large areas. The flower is 1-2.5 cm diameter, with five (occasionally four, or six to nine) petal-like segments (actually tepals). The flowers are white, commonly flushed pinkish. Leaves are deeply lobed with toothed margins. There are three varieties. Anemone quinquefolia var. bifolia that grows in the Midwest.[1] / Anemone quinquefolia var. quinquefolia that grows over the entire species range. / Anemone quinquefolia var. minima that grows in North Carolina, Tennessee and Virginia.

Oak Openings Metro Park - shaded scene by MLabuda
July 4, 2009 – cloudy day and the forest was serene. Scene is from one of the many paths that weave through the metro park. There places, like this, where the soil is moist and shaded and the plants grow in the shade, while just some feet away is where the hardwoods grow and other parts have pine groves.

Kana'io Road Ulupalakua Maui Hawai'i by Sharon Mau
This remote road of gravel and red cinder is upcountry at an elevation of about 3000 feet above sea level on the southern slopes of Haleakala Volcano. Makai, ocean side, the Pacific Ocean is far down below on my left and the direction I am facing is toward Kula, which is about five miles away. This photograph was taken as the sun was setting. The flowering trees with their red bark illuminated in the sunlight are called Black Wattle, and while they are beautiful, this tree is an invasive naturalized pest. “This noxious, evergreen tree often reaches 20 meters in height. Apart from producing copious numbers of seeds, it generates numerous suckers resulting in monotypic thickets. The small seeds are not actively dispersed and, although rodents or granivorous birds cannot be totally discounted, man appears to be the principal disseminator. The species resprouts by basal shoots following fire, thereby generally intensifying the infestation. No evaluation of its potential for biological control has been made. It grows in disturbed, mesic habitats between 600-1,700 m. The major infestation is at Kula, Maui.” Information Source Black Wattle Alien Plants of Hawai’i Copyright © Sharon Mau 2009 / All Rights Reserved Canon EOS Digital Rebel XTi / Shooting Date/Time 18 June 2009 18:21:59

"In the Clearing" by Bradley Shawn Rabon
This is the fifth image in the series documenting the abandoned millstone quarry near Padley Gorge, in the Derbyshire Peak District. Just before entering the quarry there is this clearing of trees which reminded me of the garden of Gethsemane where Jesus and his disciple would sit and talk and where Jesus spent time praying before being arrested and then crucified. It seems to have that mysterious quality about it. It is a beautiful wood that surrounds this quarry. I love the way the trees bend, and twist, contorting into these individually unique shapes. This is a HDR image using 4 bracketed photos and combining them using Photomatix Pro for Macs, and the adjusted the tone and lighting using Enhance Details in Tone Mapping. Canon EOS-1Ds Mark ll / 28-300mm IS zoom lens / f/4 / 1/25, 1/40, 1/60, 1/100 / ISO 100
