early morning tiny shoots bursting into life appear
a cluster of transparent umberellas..I like to think it was a gathering of dancing fairies
who left their little silvery umberellas which kept the
dewdrops off their wings!
when the sun appears..quickly they fold up and disappear!

Hello Anna, I was just catching up on blogging and read your below post....Wonderful news that a scan was misread and there is no mass in your abdomen.
I continue to keep you in my thoughts until this stressful time is over for you.
What a beautiful flower! I like the dancing fairy thing too... :) Hugs!
These remind me of those little paper umbrellas that are served up with drinks.Maybe these are what the fairies use in their drinks. :)
What an unusual little mushroom. I am imagining an outside room for fairies to dance within.
Dear Anna, these are so beautiful to me!! They do look so fairy-like...I hope you have a wonderful week...xxoo, Dawn
Very interesting and mysterious indeed. Thank you for sharing.
How beautiful! If they were under water I would say they were some sort of interesting sea creature instead of a very pretty fungi.
Anna, this is almost magical in its beauty. do you know what it is?
Thank you for sharing.
I'm still smiling and thanking God.
There is another lady that needs our prayers. I thought you might want to visit her. It is Theresa at
http://theresa-sentimentaljourney.blogspot.com/
Beverly: This is some sort of Fungi.
I will surely visit Theresa and send up my prayers for her.
NG: Those are truly beautiful fungus, so delicate.
Such dainty parasols. What a lovely find!
Aloha Anna,
they look like carefully folded crepe paper, so delicate..
thanks for sharing,
peace, Kai
It is so delicate, what a lovely little thing. Great photo.

I have come across similar ghosts here. They are fascinating and strange. Your photos are wonderful.
Hello Anna,
the fungi in your pictures belong to the group of small, fragile gilled mushrooms, almost like the Japanese Umbrella Inky or Coprinus. Lovely pictures!!
I have read your earlier posts.
"Kopf hoch" and take care!!
I am thinking about you,
Gisela
Wow Anna, my first thought were tiny parachutes. Just right for my Gnome collection...
What a unique capture.

Love the image of dancing fairies with silvery umbrellas -- leave it to you to find such interesting plant material and an equally interesting story to go with it. Is this hiding in your garden? TWT

thank u so much for your visit at my blog
These are the prettiest fungi I've ever seen! I'm sure you're right that they were left by dancing fairies:)
I received your comment on my page - You are most welcome - I'll be praying and watching your page for updates!
Be careful & GOD Bless!
I have never seen those before and I love them!!! I think the fairies are visiting your garden...
wow! so beautiful :)
and have a nice week :)
Anna, what a delightful post! The happy dancers of the night that, like the stars, shun the sun.
I do hope all is well, I keep you covered anyway.
Isn't that neat!! I haven't seen that before or if I have, I really haven't paid particular attention to it... I will now. A really good post indeed.
I see you have already said that it is a fungus - either that or you are very clever with Photoshop!
What delicate dance of umbrella fungi! I wonder what sound they would make if we could hide underneath hese during the rain....
Anna, The photo of the single mushroom was lovely but the multiples was even better! I love how they appear and then quickly disappear....adding to their mystery. I continue to hold you in my thoughts! gail
How dainty, any fairy would be pleased to have one.
I'm so happy to hear the good news about your health.
Marnie
I especially like the second image -- just beautiful.
love that last photo when it's folding up, just like a cup.
So very pretty and delicate.Thanks.
Blessings,Ruth
How beautiful! Love the idea of little fairies....
Hope you're enjoying your day.
Hugs,
Donna
Those little umbrellas are too cute for words. Good to see you enjoy the little things in life as that is what is often keeping us going.
((HUGS))
There is kitty Bliss in the offing!
Isn't that really!

Dear Anna... I thought of you today.... and was impressed to send you this:
Prayer in a Garden
Today the world seemed cruel, but evening hours
Were filled with perfume from forgotten flowers.
I saw again familiar filigree
Of moonlight through my lacy Lilac tree;
I heard the robins stirring in their nest;
And saw the path that fairy feet had pressed;
Reflected stars were in my garden pool;
On my warm face the breeze was kind and cool.
The silence seemed to speak, my head was bowed,
Then ramblers that had grown into a cloud
Lifted my eyes that, tear-washed, now could see
The beauty that today was lost to me.
Dear god, who is so near to flowers, and birds,
Be nearer still, as I shall search for words
To thank Thee for the blessings night revealed,
Which through the day discouragement concealed.
-EvA SPARKs TAYLOR
You are in HIs hands...
Much love
cielo
Amazing.
Is it a kind of fungus?
Cielo: The poem is beautiful..one which I will copy into my journal of blessings. Thank you dear heart for thinking of me and sending this. hugs aNNa xo
Greetings,
I am also catching up and was so thankful to read about the misread scan...thinking good thoughts for you.
Oh, that mystery plant is so beautiful as are your photos of it.
All the best!
amen sister, amem!!
loving you and sending good thoughts from good manor!!xox.xox
Yes ! Yes Fairy umbrellas!
Fairy umbrellas - of course! How sweet!
Real neat stuff!! Truly something that interests me. Mysteries are always fascinating.
BTW! I have been following this another thing I came across. It’s sort of abstract and interesting. It’s something to do with some Legend
By the way, good writing style. I'd love to read more on similar topics
Yes, our cats give us security and peace. Your photos of your sweet cat are incredibly beautiful.
Unfortunately, I had in the past few weeks, little time to visit all all my dear blogging-friends. The profession, house and garden are very demanding at the time. But, I have you not forgotten, dear Anna.
Hugs & kisses, Birgit
But how beautiful they are!! Love your captures of them!! They are like all things in Nature~magical!!
Cat
Even before I read your words I thought they looked like little paper umbrellas. :)
Lovely shots!
I think you're right about the dancing fairies - I believe.
Anna,
I'm sure your daughter has told you, but wanted you to know that you are in my thoughts and prayers every day. My mom has you on her prayer list as well. I feel the good news is only going to get better...and I'm a libra...so I should know. Hope to see you soon.
Much love,
Kathryn
Those are awesome photos!
This is really incredible, beyond any words I can adequately expressed!
Beautiful, wonderful, and fantastic pictures! Love it!
