suis-je la seule à voir une sorcière ? // am i the only one to see a witch? #mosstodon
If you pass a patch of moss with a reddish tinge, do yourself a favor and get down low (or if you have bad knees like me, put your phone camera down low, upside down), to check out those gorgeous sporophytes.

Have you tried #mosstodon #thicktrunktuesday and #succulents ? Lots of pretty things to see there too.
Off to find some tea to warm up. Hiked to a small waterfall in the rain. You don’t really appreciate how depauperate the north is until you walk through a cloud forest and are astonished by new things with each step.
Gyromitra esculenta.
A common fungus on southern Vancouver Island in early spring. Guidebooks list it as "toxic" and there have been fatalities recorded from consumption. The primary toxin, gyromitrin, is water soluble so boiling the mushrooms and discarding the water removes most of the toxin. But, gyromtrin hydrolyzes to monomethylhydrazine (aka rocket fuel) that is toxic when inhaled. So prepare them outside or in a room with good ventilation.
Homeward bound, stopped at the #FuckNazis bench. A sentiment I endorse wholeheartedly. Not literally!

I really thought the Fuck it! graffiti would be cleaned by now.

Pixies are Dartmoor fairies or elves.
A bee enjoying the water from melting snow. Also accidental #Mosstodon.
