This is a post to go with #WednesdayWalk challenge by @tattoodjay
From 2021, as proposed by UNESCO, the 40th week of the year is considered as the “World Novel Week”; its goal is to popularize reading:
The objective of this international week is to encourage appreciation of this literary genre as one of the expressions of human creativity, while raising awareness of the role of writers, as well as the different players involved in literary creation and the promotion of reading, for the flourishing of cultures and their free interaction and mutual enrichment.
(Is any AI capable of producing such texts yet?.. I guess no, but that is a question of time.) As I read thick novels on a regular basis, not only during this special week of the year, somehow I dont feel urge to celebrate it. Although I admit, that would be conceptual and cool to take a walk around the city on this occasion, capturing reading people at the streets.
Instead, I photographed the same things as always: autumn, leaves, mushrooms, birds, light...
Some trees still retain their green clothes, and some are already repainted yellow and red.
The thorn bushes cast luxurious reflections into the water - can you believe that no photoshop or AI was involved in the image below?
This hot melting gold is just the yellow foliage reflections on the water, no other magic than that!
I had a sweet not-so-usual crow encounter: the crow found a piece of ham, brought it to this mud spot source of fresh water, and arranged washing of said ham, followed by eating. All this happened at a hand's distance from me, and was successfully photographed. Crows are such a great object for observation!
On this day I decided to equip my camera with my Sigma 150mm macro telephoto, and had aspirations for some picturesque fungi to shoot - and I did found them!
I found a rare type of champignon named "black truffle"! Just kidding.... - it's an ordinary champignon, it's just decomposed in such an interesting manner.
Under one of the oak trees I was lucky enough to encounter a family of the scalycap mushrooms (Pholiota squarrosa) that just begun to grow. Over the years, I become accustomed to their unusual outlook... but the appearance is truly unusual, they look like small spiky alien hedgehogs, scaring away anyone who wants to encroach on them. As they develop, the hedgehog-shaped cap turns into a regular one, they lose their exclusive appearance.
Looking at such beautiful ripe alluring acorns, it is impossible not to grunt with delight! especially if you are a pig. ))))
At the other end of the park, there is an alley with chestnut trees - I never find any mushrooms at that location. It’s interesting, perhaps mushrooms don’t like to go into symbiosis with the chestnut trees? .. anyway, in October the ground there is dotted with chestnuts and their peels, this is a very pleasant sight!
Unfortunately, its only the inedible variety of chestnut occures in our north area ...
Mushrooms do especially well under oak trees. Here I found a whole gold mine of scalycap, or the shaggy Pholiota. I remembered that last year I saw a large colony of these mushrooms exactly at this spot under the oaks in the park, and was passing by from time to time to check this place - and behold, a guaranteed predicted result! (It's nice that there are some things that you can rely on and predict... tho, usually, mushrooms is the stuff you cant rely on.)
These are edible mushrooms, and if they grew in the forest, I could forage 2 kilograms at once, without leaving this spot. But picking mushrooms in the city would be a bad idea.
And all I can do is take photographs. Look how cool, fleshy, invitingly alluring their caps are!...

All pictures taken by me. Thanks for walking with me, see you next time.
For sure I will pick those mushroom, but first should smell the area, hope no onehas peed around the area before.

Thank you for being an !LOLZ supporter.
You must be killin' it out here!
@lolz.pimp just slapped you with 1.000 PIMP, @ekavieka.
You earned 1.000 PIMP for the strong hand.
They're getting a workout and slapped 1/4 possible people today.

haha, thats a good joke, !LOLZ - you made me smile! In Russian, we also have this running joke: 'The main thing, the main problem should be solved - is the yellow snow: you should not eat yellow show!" In winter it is very obvious if somebody has peed around. . . snow displays all the traces so well! but in winter there are not so many mushrooms around :D
Have a !PIZZA, my friend, and thanks for your vizit!
I loved reading about your Wednesday walk and seeing all the beautiful photos! I especially liked the one of the crow washing its ham. It's amazing how intelligent and resourceful these birds are.
I'm also fascinated by the scalycap mushrooms. They really do look like little spiky alien hedgehogs! I'm glad you were able to find a family of them to photograph.
O! if you say so, here is my full post dedicated to the scene I witnessed (crow and her ham trofey). Thanks for walking with me, glad you liked the autumn visuals. Have a Hive !BEER with me!

Грибы и осенние плоды в обработке смотрятся очень выразительно и красочно! 👍
Ага. Насчет грибов гарантий нет, могут вырасти а могут и нет, ну а как у вас с дубами и каштанами, в смысле, -- есть что показать?.. !BEER
Вот с каштанами совсем не урожай в этом году. Там где у меня в городе растут каштаны рядом находятся образовательные учреждения, соответственно на поделки для детей собирают очень быстро. А дубы в основном за городом растут. Поэтому в этом году балуемся грибами.

И то в основном без обработки публикую фото.
Ясно.... ну, тогда есть ещё один безотказный вариант - кленовые листья! =)
Да листья 🌿🍁 в достаточном количестве, это точно. Надеюсь на выходные погода позволит отправиться в парк на прогулку.
У нас не позволяет. Ну то есть выйтти конечно можно,-- но сфотографировать получится только серое небо и мутные кусты, да лужи с давлёными в грязь павшими листьями.
Вот я этого и опасаюсь из дома выходил было приемлемо ещё, а до работы добрался дождь пошёл. И в течение дня несколько раз повторно начинался. Уж лучше бы небольшой морозец ударил.

Quede enamorada de tus fotos y la atención al detalle 🥰🥰🥰 el pato en el lago dorado fue mi favorito, felicidades por tu trabajo!! 🫶
¡Muchas gracias por el cumplido! ¿Tu otoño es colorido?...
Soy de un pais tropical por lo que no vivimos las estaciones del año como otros paises, depende del estado en el que nos encontremos se puede evidenciar un poco mas la estación pero nada parecido a otros paises. los otoños son muy diferentes, acá los arboles no nos dan la oportunidad de tomar fotos como las tuyas, casi siempre estamos en verano jajaja

Nature is very beautiful but people's way of taking photos really matters a lot
You are a good photographer
You captured them excellently well

Не думаю, что проблема в каштанах - у нас есть каштановая аллея, и там очень много шампиньонов.
such beautiful photos love the golden tones
I did know it was International Novel week, I should get and read a book when I was younger i was a very avid reader, but these days I seldom read books
Thanks for joining the Wednesday Walk :)
Me too! I found out it only afterwards, while writing the post. Maybe next year I will do a more conceptual blog, trying to hunt down all the reading folks of that day? Crazy idea, but may be a fun goal to achieve. Have a !BEER, thanks for walking with me Jay!
that does sound a cool goal for next year you should go for it
Lets see if we remember it after 360 days :P
👍🙂👍
I dont trust my memory these days I rely on reminder son my phone lOL
