Sad Story: FOTD June 17, 2021

Yesterday I took this photo of the beautiful mushrooms growing out of its base of the huge Royal Poinciana tree in my front yard. Included in my gallery are some of the blooms of the tree that I published the other day. As beautiful as they are,  the mushrooms are growing there because the roots are decaying and unfortunately I have to cut it down, along with the huge cactus in my backyard. More about this later. Nature gives and takes away.

Hospitable and Not: Travel Theme, Bark

The bark of this giant tree that had fallen across the road and been cut in two, then left with the chunk covering the road removed, became a host for other plants and fungi to thrive on.

Just a few blocks away, we found this other bark—this one less welcoming to intruders.
