~rainbow mondays~ suddenness
Mushrooms
by Mary Oliver
Rain, and then
the cool pursed
lips of the wind
draw them
out of the ground –
red and yellow skulls
pummeling upward
through leaves,
through grasses,
through sand; astonishing
in their suddenness,
their quietude,
their wetness, they appear
on fall mornings, some
balancing in the earth
on one hoof
packed with poison,
others billowing
chunkily, and delicious –
those who know
walk out to gather, choosing
the benign from flocks
of glitterers, sorcerers,
russulas,
panther caps,
shark-white death angels
in their town veils
looking innocent as sugar
but full of paralysis:
to eat
is to stagger down
fast as mushrooms themselves
when they are done being perfect
and overnight
slide back under the shining
fields of rain.

~rainbow mondays~ birthday butterflies and broken boards
red: maple waiting on the sidelines to get transplanted.
red: handsome fiance, pressing apple cider like a boss.
orange: we’ll take the little bit of fall color that we get here on the oregon coast.
yellow: vine maples down by the bayou.
green: some more lovely fall specimens
green: the cider press in action! this action shot is mostly for my new york family who needs one for all the apples on the farm!
green: post-karate traditional stop at the laughing planet cafe, for smoothies and yummy fresh food, and dinosaurs.
blue: looking a little tropical on the coast one sunny day recently.
blue: lucky beach treasure
blue: blue belt having just broken a board with his hand!
blue: cotton candy sunrise sky at the dragon house.
purple: birthday girl in her butterfly hoodie. after i got it finished, i was jealous and now i want to make one for myself. this kiddo was born right around the time i was eyeing a certain yoga hunk and trying to figure out how to chat him up, which means we are almost five years old like she is!
purple: because we’re all about action shots today, the butterfly testing her wings and getting ready to take flight!
red violet: last days of the geraniums living outdoors, just before i whisked them inside in time for heavy rain and wind (though not as heavy as predicted). it’s always good for me to remember that fall (and even winter, and even big predicted winter storms) contain many breaks in the rain with bright wonderful sunshine. my camera and i, we chase the light!
