Spot the human:

Perlpilz – Blusher – Amanita rubenscens. And tasty…



I don’t even know these, the stump just looked pretty with all the little mushrooms


Steinpilz or Herrenpilz – Boletus edulis. Even tastier

Baden with Kathi im Hierzerteich in Dirnreith near St Margrethen. In the 90s I rented a house nearby, and often walked here whit my dog Schiva.

Mostly Täublinge – Russula sp. (mainly cyanoxantha – Frauentäubling) a few Perlpilze, Maronenröhrlinge and one Steinpilz


This is how the russulas and amanitas look cooking

These are boleti (if that’s the plural, otherwise maybe just king mushrooms) and one left over russula

“Plato” is just a few days old and friendly, like “Mäxchen” a few years ago…

That’s him


Leilani laid down in the middle of the horses and took pictures…





Eventually I realized Leilani made for an even better subject and took the camera to take pictures of her.

This one was just a day old, still unnamed and shy.

Jutta has beautiful flowers.

I think it’s a Feverfew cultivar, Mutterkraut, for sure a closely related Tanacetum species

Großer Kohlweißling (Pieris brassicae), large white cabbage butterfly on lavender, Lavendel, Lavandula angustifolia



“Love-in-a-Mist” or “Jungfer im Grünen” (Nigella damascena) not Echter Schwarzkümmel (but closely related)
