STONE UPON STONE

This is another of the Famous Mushroom Houses of Charlevoix. This shot was taken from street level. While there is not much "mushroom" to see, you can see a good bit of the stone work. It is amazing to behold. I did not have a wide angle lens, so this shot will have to do. It is said that the architect/builder hid these stones till he could find a suitable use for them. It seems that he found it.

THEY CALL IT MELLOW YELLOW...

While cutting back some brush yesterday, I came across this rather beautiful specimen of fungi. While I'm no mycologist and couldn't tell the difference between a Death Cap and a baseball cap, I do have an eye for the unusual. This struck me as different, colorful, and photogenic. It certainly is something I have never seen before. It also raises a question, are all non-poisonous mushrooms edible? Curious minds want to know.
