I was really excited to discover new #CoralFungi growing in our front side yard, this morning!
I don't know what kind they are though.
The white ones are forming a fungi cult 😆
Orange ones are very tiny & just emerged.

Clustered white coral fungi, with numerous tapering, finger-like branches, emerging from a mossy patch in front of a weathered, wooden log.

Two delicate, curved white fungi with translucent, blade-like structures emerging from damp, mossy ground covered in brown pine needles, green grass, and small clovers.

Close-up of forest floor with vibrant green moss, small green leafy plants, and scattered brown pine needles and seed pods; two bright yellow, horn-shaped fungi are visible near the edge of a weathered, dark wooden log.

More from our nature walk.

Wooden park bench on a gravel path surrounded by lush green and brown foliage, with visible graffiti and overgrown surroundings, set against a backdrop of trees under a cloudy sky.

A winding dirt path through a forest, lined with trees of various sizes and moss-covered branches, leading towards a bright sky peeking through the canopy. The main focal point is a large tree leaning over the path with moss covering a branch.

A large tree trunk with deeply textured bark, covered in patches of green moss and draped with green vines. Bare branches and foliage fill the background.

Looking up from a low perspective, a series of parallel pipes stretches into the distance, framed by brown support beams, over a wooded pathway. The support beams have graffiti on them. Trees line both sides of the pathway, and the sky is visible through the branches. The ground is covered with leaves and foliage.

A cute couple of tiny unidentified #mushrooms - growing out of #moss - at trunk base of an old fir tree.

Two small, light-colored mushrooms with delicate, umbrella-shaped caps, grow from bright green moss on a dark, textured tree trunk.

More scenes from our mother & daughter walk in the park, this morning 🙂

A creek flows through a wooded area beneath a steel footbridge, its muddy water reflecting the overcast sky. The foreground is filled with fallen leaves, moss-covered rocks, and dense vegetation lining the creek's banks. Bare trees and evergreens frame the scene, creating a natural, serene atmosphere.

A murky brown river flows through a dense thicket of bare, intertwined branches and twigs, with a fallen log partially submerged. Patches of green moss cling to the thicker branches, with a few fresh green leaves and fallen brown leaves visible. Overcast day in an urban forest setting.

A gravel path winds through a forest of bare trees and mossy foliage, leading towards a wooden bridge in the distance. A moss-covered bench sits to the side of the path, and a stream is visible to the right. The sky is overcast.

A murky, brown river flows between the banks of a forest. The banks are lined with bare trees, patches of green moss, and fallen leaves. A wooden bench sits partially submerged in the water along the near bank. Bare twigs and dried foliage are in the foreground, and a green, grassy area is visible in the background.

A close-up image of a puddle on a wet surface with a reflection of bare tree branches against a cloudy sky. The puddle’s surface is textured and shimmering, while the surrounding ground is muddy and glistening.

Looking up at a bright blue sky with wispy clouds through the silhouettes of tree branches.

Today is a great day because Mom felt good enough for a nature walk outing 💚💗💚 We had a lovely time, walking in the park this morning 😁

Mom, wearing a brown jacket walks away from the camera on a muddy path through a wooded area on a cloudy day, beneath the low-hanging boughs of evergreen trees, with a small bridge visible in the distance.

I love this old #GarryOak #tree 💚

#ColquitzRiver had flooded out but has now receded. It will likely flood again because more rains are expected this week.

I harvested some more #GreenOnions from our backyard.

2025 marks the 30th year since I bought green onions in any store. Been growing it, year round, since 1995.

#GrowItEatIt #GrowFood #FoodGardeners #Saanich #Harvest #Saanich #VancouverIsland

A woven wicker basket filled with a large bunch of fresh green onions, resting on a white tablecloth with a checkered pattern. The onions have long, vibrant green stalks and white bottoms, with many extending beyond the edge of the basket. The basket itself has a light brown color with a circular shape, featuring a tightly woven pattern.

2023. Using my #cane to pull out a toy that was dropped by someone into #SwanLake.

3 years ago, we were snowed in for awhile, in #Saanich.

Saanich South! Thanks to our all-star volunteer team for holding down the fort without me last weekend - my first (and only!) sick day on tour 😢. Shoutout to our Saanich South Riding Association for hosting an awesome potluck and evening of movement building⚡️ Join today - bcgreens.ca/join #bcgreens #bcpoli #tour #saanich

#Cotoneaster #berries. They're similar to firethorn plants but are thornless with serated leaf margins. Their flowers & fruits are toxic for humans but have excellent #WildlifeValue.
These are #larval food plants for several insects. Their flowers attract many #pollinators. Their fruits are eaten by multiple birds - blackbirds especially love eating these berries in Winter.
It's been cultivated by landscapers for wildlife value & soil erosion prevention. It's grown in many public & private areas around here - I see it almost everywhere. Birds have spread their seeds afar.

I don't know which variety of cotoneaster this is - there are a lot of varieties.

Spotted at Burnside Medical Clinic parking lot.

Close-up of clusters of vibrant orange berries on a bush with dark green glossy serated leaves, with the background consisting of blurred branches and foliage.

My 3rd #VietnameseCoriander container is now totally full of happy plants! I propagated these ones from my main repurposed bathtub planter, in June. They are left outside in Winter & they survive through snow/ice. We harvest them year round on an as needed basis.

⚠️DO NOT put these into the ground. Grow in containers so you can control them. They spread fast, if put into ground.

I took a cutting of this orange #pansy from a Royal Oak Shopping Center parking lot planter 🧡

Floowering groundsel plant with yellow buds and small yellow blooms, growing out of a pavement crack, with scattered leaves and green vegetation.

Mirrored abstract photo edit of a mirror surface covered in brown leaves, twigs and water droplets, reflecting a blurred green background. Two mirrored twig branches with orange cone-like foliage point towards the center of the image.

A close-up, low-angle shot of a rain-covered, mirror-topped surface filled with dead leaves and twigs, reflecting a blurred green and cloudy sky. Various dead leaves and twigs, some reddish-brown and some dark brown, lay scattered across the mirrors. Water droplets are visible on the mirror's surface.

One of several, bright yellow #wallflowers started blooming this week. These are under our large cedar tree - in a well mulched rock garden bed. It was delightful to see their flowers emerge again. Most of our other wallflowers bloomed all through Summer & stopped in October. They smell amazing!
