After being in extreme drought conditions since July, the island is once again experiencing the rainy weather it is known for. And we couldn’t be happier.
This is my “happy to be out in the rain face”. (My hair is not wet from the rain, but still damp from the shower I took just before heading out.)Bowser was excited to be out on the trail again. Not sure if he thought the rain was all that exciting, though. Not like he gets when it snows, that’s for sure 🤣. He matches the scenery nicely, doesn’t he? As usual, Bowser has to trot ahead and scout things out.And, as usual he checks back from time to time to see where I am at. Bright leaves litter the trail, making a beautiful contrast to the rocks and soil.Found this beautiful little mushroom. Some sort of Amanita, I think. I was hoping to see more, but this was the only one I found on this walk.Bowser, coming back from checking on the creek – that we were happy to notice is rapidly reclaiming the dry creek bed.
We hope you are enjoying whatever the weather brings you. Happy Thanksgiving weekend to my fellow Canadians!
A walk with Bowser would be a great Walktober! See my current blog post for the definition of Walktober. Your mushroom was really cool looking. And Bowser is adorable!
I’ve never seen a mushroom that looks like that! Mother Nature sure does ‘variety’ well! The range of her achievements is mind-blowing. For such a little dog, Bowser sure is fearless. He’s all boy. Does he like to cuddle? My Schnauzer didn’t.
Bowser loves cuddling! My Lucy did not like cuddling at all but my previous schnauzer Maxx couldn’t get enough cuddles. I had thought it might have to do with their gender (males being more cuddly) but if Levi didn’t like cuddling, I guess not! Thanks, Jean 💕
You’re clearly a believer in the saying: there’s no such thing as bad weather – only the wrong clothes… which I tend to be in agreement with. And what a gorgeous mushroom!
I might do a post just about these mushrooms. I have taken so many pictures of them over the past couple of weeks (in all kinds of weather 😁). Thanks, Debs 💕
He still looks cute wet and bedraggled
Doesn’t he, though?! Thanks, Sheree 💕
😎
Beautiful walk, and I love the mushroom shot. Of course, Bowser steals the show, though. You are looking good as well 😁💕
Thank you very much, Natalie 💕
Happy Thanksgiving, Deb, from one rainy coast to another!
Thank you very much, Jane 💕. Same to you!

Thanks for the reminder, Dawn 💕 I am still not getting notifications of your posts – yours and quite a few other bloggers that I follow.
Fab mushroom. Glad you are getting that much needed rain… we’re getting it as well but certainly don’t need it.
Waves hi to Bowz!
❤️
I certainly will! Thanks, Rivergirl 💕

I see you got the rain I sent you! 🙂 Yay!
Thanks, Kate 😉💕. Much appreciated!
Glad you and Bowser had a fun walk in the rain. That is a unique mushroom – great shot too. I love, love the leaf on the rocks. Signs of Fall….
Thank you very much, Suzanne 💕
Lucky you for getting that much-desired rain! That spotted mushroom is adorable… did you check for fairies?
No fairies as yet. I keep going back to that site and more and more of these adorable mushrooms are springing up! More photos to come. Thanks, Janis 💕
Great camouflauge, Bowswer! And absolutely beautiful shots, Oma. I especially love the mushroom — beautiful!
Too bad it’s rainy out. Otherwise I’d suggest a post-dinner walk to the mushroom patch (yes, it’s a patch now!). See you soon 💕
Bowser is such a lovely dog! Lovely pictures of him. If you want rain, come and live in England!
Our weather is supposed to be very close to that of England. Which makes the summer drought so worrying. Thanks, Patricia 💕
Happy Thanksgiving. Love that trail and the happy look on both your faces!
Thank you, Bernie 💕 I love this trail too!
Beautiful photos, perhaps enhanced by the raininess? Bowser rocks out, as usual.
Yes, overcast skies can provide perfect light for great photos! Thanks, Ally 💕

Oooh yes please. While I don’t eat mushrooms, I think they make fabulous subjects for photography!
