OH! Mother Nature!!

While out in my yard not too long ago I found a wood mushroom growing out of one of my trees.. Mother Nature has struck again!

I've been sitting on a picture of a wood mushroom for quite sometime confused as to whether or not I should actually post it as some would raise an eyebrow or two, or stop following me completely!  However, in looking at it with an open mind, I decided that since I am a "Versatile" blogger, you've come to expect that anything might be posted about here at Tranquil Acres of Alexandria!

For those of you that don't know what a Wood Mushroom is, let me explain. It is a fungus that grows out trees and branches that are dying or dead.

Mother Nature has presented herself in some very strange ways around my house, but none as vivid as this picture. I will remind you who Mother Nature is.. She is the common personification of nature and all the life giving and nurturing aspects of it.

I suppose Mother Nature is present in my yard and quite a conversation piece. Thankfully she is up high on this tree as not to embarrass me with every guest..
