Clover Field

Shroomery

The thing about mushrooms is that when they appear above ground, it's just one tiny part of a vast organism that lives beneath the surface. In LA, it's rare to see a mushroom this large. Mostly because it's so dry that most of the year there's not enough moisture to get a mushroom going, but in the Fall when there has been even a little rain, the occasional hearty mushroom will bloom.

Hope

Even though we are in a recession, a plant with green leaves soaking up the rain in Southern California gives me hope.

Recession and decay

Looking at winter leaves reminded me of the recession we're in. It's a slowing down when nature retreats and saves it's energy for the spring.
