A happy combination

I'm posting today's photos at about 3:00 a.m. - because I can't sleep! So annoying, as my alarm goes off in two and a half hours ready for a day botanizing trip. Won't help at all if I'm walking all day on no, or very little sleep!

I remember feeling so happy when I walked to the other side of this beautiful, lichen-covered tree, trying to photograph a tiny House Wren, and caught sight of these beautiful fungi growing around eye level : ) Photographed on 1st September 2010.

Flickr friend Jim (Garnite) desperately needs all the healing vibes he can possibly get at the moment, lying in ICU in Vancouver General Hospital. We would love it if you would join in with this song that Jim loves, www.youtube.com/watch?v=EGikhmjTSZI. Sing along with it, loudly and lovingly! Jim had yet another (small) setback today, so this journey is certainly a roller coaster ride for both Jim and Linda.
