I live by my wits. I have to be sharp and clever, lest I go hungry. I have to think things out, catch what I can, take what comes. From Charlotte’s Web by E.B. White
…thought I’d start off the Halloween festivities with this lovely specimen! Looks a bit pixely to me on screen…oh well…that’s how the pixel crumbles!
I am leaving tomorrow morning for 2 weeks. So if I don’t post for a few days, that’s the reason! First I will go to visit family in Texas and go to my high school reunion, then I will go to California to do some work and see my extended family. I will try to post from CA from time to time! Au revoir!

Curieuse photo ., en effet .
la précédente me semble être des fruits de “fusain d ‘ Europe ” = evonymus europeus ou son cousin d ‘ Amérique .
Quand aux champignons ( photo prcédente encore ) ce doit être des coprins Noirs d ‘ encre ( Coprinus )
Bon voyage .
je ne sais pas si tu parles français .

Whoa! It is indeed a curious photo, Molly. Now would someone please tell me what else Michel wrote? I get the “bon voyage” part too. But that’s all.
“For a man to attain to
an eminent degree in learning
costs him
time, watching, hunger, nakedness,
dizziness in the head,
weakness in the stomach,
and other inconveniences.”
– Miguel De Cervantes
What Michel said:
Interesting photo indeed.
The preceding appears to be the fruits of the European spindle-tree (euonymus europeus) or its American cousin.
As for the mushrooms (pre-preceding photo) they must be Black Inky Caps.
Bon voyage.
I don’t know if you speak French.
(Michel, I hope I translated your words accurately? Lise)
Clarification:
My quote by Cervantes was in response to Molly’s quote by White, not to Michel’s learning English!!
