Walking and foraging with my girls-phone photography

Read more about this week's Phone Photography Contest HERE

They say spending just 20 minutes outside every day will improve your well-being and make you feel more relaxed.

And even better is spending 2 hours hiking the Ice Age Trail in Wisconsin. It's a beautiful place to take a walk!


Autum olive berries are getting ripe. I added some last year to a batch of scones I made and they were quite delicious. There are elderberries that are almost ready to be picked, too. They will get made into jam.

These oyster mushrooms were growing on the same willow tree that we found some growing on last year.

I fried them in a little butter and then made a scramble by adding a couple eggs and some feta cheese. Talk about a delicious breakfast!

With all the rain we have had this year, it has been a great year for mushrooms!

I think that the best way to experience the world is by going outside and exploring it. Learn about a new plant each time you go for a walk so that you can greet it by name the next time you see it!

A nice walk.

I thought the yellow flowers in the photo were pretty, the other photos look good too, but those yellow flowers caught my attention.

The road ditches are full of several different types of these little yellow flowers. They are always an indication that autumn is coming!

I live in a tropical country, so we only have two seasons, so I don't know how it feels to have 4 seasons.

However, I've read that the fall period is often considered to be prone to nostalgic feelings. So I was surprised that these flowers (which I find so pretty in that yellow) were related, I guess it's something like they mark the end of summer.

Walking outdoors is always the best way to clear your mind, as they say.

Anyway, the scenery of the surroundings looks beautiful! And the flowers too

So, green vegetation. Our vegetation here is already getting dried up because of draught. We have not had rain since early July

It's been a rainy summer here. Everything is lush and green. Unlike our usual summers when everything is dry by now.

I think they taste a little like pomegranates.
The mushrooms were wonderful! I only wish we found them more often!

Namaste 🙏 Ma'am, beautiful scenery you have captured, I love to visit such natural places, but unfortunately it's very far from my current residence.

Fried oyster mushrooms with eggs look delicious.
I have a query , is this mashroom is same which is shown above over the wood 🤔

Yes. It is the same one. I immersed it in water to make sure that there were no bugs in it and then chopped it up and threw it in the pan!

Never tasted mushroom before but with this homemade breakfast it sure would go well with some hot tea or coffee. Speaking of summer guess u taking advantage of before the August break gets over

We have had a lot of rain this summer, too. I hope it stops before it changes to snow this winter or we will get buried!
