Nippy at the mill pond this morning And very still  Except for when Rosie flushed four Canadian Geese Shaggy Mane mushrooms

Fog bank on Bell Mountain Spotted a coyote here a few weeks back.  No deer though. Mushroom are flourishing on the forest floor Or just out in the road

I've been organizing my photos. I'm fond of these shots.

I used to pose my daughter's toys for photo opps. back in the old 35mm days.

indolently snuggled in bed this dreary morning listening to rain drum on the roof

We ended up in Switzerland by chance. The gondola at Chamonix was closed on the Italian side of Mount Blanc, my dream foiled by an Italian holiday. So we caught a train that wound up and around the Alps. I kept expecting to see Heidi and her herd of goats. We figured out we were in Switzerland at the Matigny train station, “Swiss.com” signs were posted everywhere. In retrospect, passing by the Materhorn should have been a clue. My daughter lobbied to visit the HR Giger Museum. We were in Switzerland after all, and this trip is all about the spirit of spontaneity. I caved. We took the train to Bulle, smack dab in the center of the country, to Castle Gruyere, the unlikely location of the museum.

Toadstools shooting up all over.

Shots before the rain this morning.
