Yesterday the weather did not kiss us here at St.Petersburg -- it was rainy thru all the day. Actually, I did not even get out at all... so today in the morning I looked out, noticed the weather is calm, and simply teasing pushing me out. So, a little photo-walk with camera on the way to the office simply was a must!
I hope you will like the visuals too. Autumn is charming!
I followed my babygirl to the school (a bit, just for 10 min), and found myself in the neighboring park...
... enjoying a fungi quest (as always), ducks, seagulls, maple leaves... actually I enjoyed all sorts of leaves! And of course, acorns.
I do not feel good that this time @barbara-orenya is not going to repeat her #season-hunt challenge, like in 2021. But on another hand... I do understand that good creative things should not be repeated heavily, time after time... once is enough, right?..
A lot of fungi, edible and not, are popping up around. Pholiota squarrosa' is the most photo-friendly of them. In the past I already have found and photographed this pretty well-spread autumn mushroom a hundred times, but every time I see it I can’t simply pass by: I stop and take new photos. These mushroom families are so touching! especially when they are young, and not yet overmatured.
The park has different trees, with very different lineage; there are many lindens and oaks among them. At some spots the ground is littered with (last year) acorns like a spent cartridge cases.
Some are still 'sleeping', and some show the signs they awaken.

Let me finish here. This was just part one ;) the rest will follow.
This was my entry for the Ecency Discord challenge hosted by @beeber. (Week 42 topic was: 'Seasons Change'. Yes, Trivia like that: its exactly what I see all around, behind my window).
Thanks for walking with me, see you next time!
