Japanese maple tree in my backyard, 2 days ago. Today those leaves are noticeably browner.

Acer palmatum, likely var dissectum. Do a google image on that. Awesome tree.

Coprinus comatus. It looks more or less nice when it is young, but when it gets older (and that means just a day or two) its edge turns into disgusting black, dripping fluid. Calling this particular mushroom wonderfull is an abuse of the word :wink:

I tend to look at everything like I was seeing it through the camera. Gets me in trouble sometimes while I am driving :biggrin:

Cool tree. Our cat loves to hang out under it on hot summer days. I keep the branches trimmed back from touching the ground, mainly so we can tell if he's under there.

I did Andre's suggested google search, but haven't make it past the Wikipedia article. Just need a wee bit more free time.
