Thunderstorm #2 rolling in over Lake Michigan yesterday.

One of the coolest shelf clouds I've seen in a while! RIP to the many trees, cars, and power lines we lost yesterday.

I didn't know bird's nest fungi were a thing!

Crucibulum laeve (common bird's nest fungus). Spotted in a Chicago, Illinois garden the other day.

Stumbled upon these precious, teeny-tiny mushrooms on a walk. Who are they?

Photo taken by myself a few days ago in Illinois, close to Lake Michigan.

These babies were so small that I almost overlooked them! The caps are tiny, no larger than the tip of a pencil's eraser. At first, I thought they were a type of shelf fungi. However, upon closer examination, I saw the tiny little stems. I've been doing some Googling but haven't been able to figure out the species. Any suggestions would be appreciated!

So many different shapes in the clouds this AM. So far, I've spotted a an ostrich, the profile of a bearded man wearing a hat, Pluto (the cartoon dog), and a dragon head. What do you see?

By the way, if anyone can explain what exactly caused the clouds to look like this, I'd love to learn more!

I just noticed this and burst out laughing. I don't disagree with the sentiment, but this sign feels like the punchline from an SNL sketch or something.

Damn... 25 minute wait for the Red Line to Howard?

Thankful I made the earlier train.

Choppy seas in Rogers Park this morning.

Looking South from Mahoney-Griffin Beach.

Daily zen. 😌
