The colours of April, here in the north woods. In town, the streets are lined with pink and purple, yellow and white. Deep blue bluebells, red-flowering currants, daffodils and crocuses, white-blossomed wild cherry trees, even a few red rhododendrons. A few minutes beyond city limits, however, the theme colour is green. With brown as an accent colour.
These are a few random shots taken here and there.

Just another nameless logging road. |
 |
Big-leaf maple, adding a hint of yellow to its greenery. Brown's Bay. |
 |
In a bleached log, two species of moss, Cladonia lichens, and Lichen Agaric mushrooms (Lichenomphalia umbellifera). Oyster Bay. |
 |
A bit of the north woods, tamed, but still green. Brown's Bay. |
 |
Nose to the bark; Cladonia lichen squamules. |
And brown:
 |
Bird's nest fungus, with "braided" red cedar leaves, dried. |
 |
And a small, brown mushroom. |
 |
There's always another trillium. Cumberland area. |

Los colores de abril, aquí en los bosques norteños. En la ciudad, las calles corren entre jardines pintados en color de rosa, morado, amarillo, blanco. Hay jacintos, en tonos de azul fuerte, grosellas, las que llevan flores rojas, hay narcisos y crocus, cerezos resplandecientes con sus flores blancas, hasta unos cuantos rododendros con flores rojas. Pero saliendo del pueblo, apenas a una poca distancia, el tema es verde. Todo es verde, con el color café como color de contraste.
- Un camino de madereros, sin nombre.
- Arce de hoja grande, vestido en verde/amarillo.
- Un tronco podrido, blanqueado por el sol, con su "jardincito" de musgos (dos especies), líquenes Cladonia, y los hongos/liquen Lichenomphalia umbellifera.
- Un tramo del bosque norteño domesticado, pero sigue pintado de verde. Brown's Bay.
- Escamas de los líquenes Cladonia sp., vistas de cerca, en el tronco de un árbol.
- Y el color acento, café: aquí un hongo "nido de pájaro" con hojas secas del cedro rojo.
- Un honguito color café.
- Y siempre hay otro trilio.

I'm having to moderate all comments because Blogger seems to have a problem notifying me. Sorry about that. I will review them several times daily, though, until this issue is fixed.
Also, I have word verification on, because I found out that not only do I get spam without it, but it gets passed on to anyone commenting in that thread. Not cool!
