Inspired by Nature

This weekend I have had the chance to leave the big bad city and head to the country. Not gonna eat a lott of peaches (That's a song, son, a song, I say).
Anyway, this time and the last time I was here in the Piney Woods, I got obsessed with all the different types of fungi that grow in the swampy creek bottom. There are such a variety of colors, it just amazes me. Unfortunately, I didn't have my camera last time, and this time I didn't find so many. But here a a few:

Old tree, covered in fungi? Mushrooms?
Not sure what to call them. 

Underneath the mushroom. Isn't that fantastic?

Looking up the trunk.
Jack and the Beanstalk-esque.

Turquoise and copper

Gorgeous purple, rust, and brown

Fall orange, different form

Soft green moss

These gorgeous textures, colors, and designs....hmmm....I could wear these in silver.....yes. That could work. Inspired by nature.
