Jewellery piece of Amethyst polished pendant for necklace.

Given to me by my best friend who knows I love the rocks:

A gift from my Uncle Johnny who use to explore the wilds of Northern Ontario. A true adventurer in his time.

I have had this geode since I was a wee boy it was purchased from the Canadian Museum of Nature by my Uncle as a present. I used Google Pixel 4a for the lighting on the crystal that has two minerals to it...I like the top portion the best and I hope you like it as well.

It is interesting which frogs venture far from water and can be found in the woods. This Northern Leopard Frog (Lithobates pipiens) was close to the Ottawa River but was found jumping inland at the Britannia Conservation Area, Mud Lake, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada.

I think it was Jack that told me to focus on both eyes...So I photographed this Northern Leopard Frog (Lithobates pipiens) Britannia Conservation Area, Mud Lake, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. I think his nose was touching the lens and that is why it is out of focus.

I am not liking these pictures due to I cannot see the spider's face but the web turned out interesting. Unknown spider at the Conroy Pit, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada.

Found in the woods of Conroy Pit, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada.

I found this to be the most challenging fungus to shoot in the woods. Handsome Club Fungus (Clavulinopsis laeticolor) Alleyn-et-Cawood, Québec, Canada.

Not a coral, Jellied False Coral Fungus (Sebacina schweinitzii) Alleyn-et-Cawood, Québec, Canada.

Little umbrellas of the woods, Yellowleg Bonnet Mushroom (Mycena viscosa) Alleyn-et-Cawood, Québec, Canada.

I love the coral fungi and was so excited to find this Violet Coral Fungus (Clavaria zollingeri) in the woods of Alleyn-et-Cawood, Québec, Canada. Found this fungus to be the most difficult to capture well in the dark woods and its colour also played a factor.

Sprouting from a fallen tree are the bright colourful Club-like Tuning Fork Fungus (Calocera cornea) Alleyn-et-Cawood, Québec, Canada.

Jellied False Coral Fungus (Tremellodendron schweinitzii) Alleyn-et-Cawood, Québec, Canada.
