I was having fun :-D. I think this one fits well with "wildcrafting"--those are oyster mushrooms unless I am mistaken!

I'm thinking this one might fit luxuriant and green better than my strawberry picture. That moss looks so comfy!

Just a random hole in the road that never got filled. Well I guess it's filled with a microclimate now...

Printed out the list and look forward to completing it (even if I'm not part of the challenge). Have been taking "permie" photos for about five years now and need to collect them all into one place. This inspired me! Thanks!

Got some fancy apples in the mail, a gift from relatives a little farther north. This fancy, seasonal fruit gift is the latest iteration in a perpetual gift giving loop.

When given a gift, most people in Japan will feel obligated to return the favor. I like the custom and feel that it encourages sharing. When I opened the gift, I thought "who can I share this with and who do I owe I gift". I know it will come back around, and that can be more valuable then keeping the gift(or surplus) for yourself.

It's getting colder. Is everyone keeping warm?

A nice fire on a cold night is a great comfort to me.

Also, although I always considered oranges a summer fruit, Mandarin orange season is fall through winter. Good to get a nice vitamin C boost as the weather cools.

Hi Raven,

I saw this photo online and thought of you, it would be a nice one to duplicate.
I followed a link to one Alexie Kermentiev's photo sites, his photos go for around $300+

Anyway I also wanted to ask you if you have a Facebook page to help promote your stock photos?

What a great pile of photos!  Thanks, everyone for participating.

December - January Permaculture photo challange is up.

But, you can still participate in this photo challenge.  There is no closing date.
 
Can you really tell me that we aren't dealing with suspicious baked goods? And then there is this tiny ad:
