an early morning with the rising sun and the fog in the forest.

Fungus fable by Vahlenkamp
These mushrooms also called fly agaric, were in historic time effectively used by the Vikings, when they were getting ready to invade a land. The Vikings essentially turned off their fear emotions, thus gaining their reputation for their fierceness.
The people of many cultures of northern Europe lived in constant fear of invasion. Vikings where known to enter a village fearlessly, wreak havoc among the people and carry off the women.
Before entering battle, the Vikings would go through a religious ritual in which they would dance around the woods and consume Amanita muscaria. So the main reason the Vikings were able to fight without fear is that they were on drugs. For this reason the Vikings were also known as the berserkers. It is also worth mentioning that they had a strong belief in going to Wallhall after death (supposedly a great place to be for great warriors).

Cattails crown by Vahlenkamp
The scent of the wind, glides into a sense of comfort. For a flight of the silent onset of winter. Passing through light and shadow. Standing in a faint aroma, of deep autumn in the field. Under foot delicious, fallen leaves murmur. Matured cattails, swing freely in the wind. Their appearance touching tenderly. A reminiscence of the passing season.

Harmony heart by Vahlenkamp
I wrote your name in the sky, but the wind blew it away.
I wrote your name in the sand, but the waves washed it away.
I wrote your name in my heart, and forever it will stay.

Scenic spikes by Vahlenkamp
Am I soft and warm, or am I sharp and cold? Will I embrace you, or will I reject you? It depends on which angle you approach me from. But just come on, take your chances! Touch me in a dignified manner, feel me, embrace my softness. You will for sure feel delighted.

Outstretched ovation by Vahlenkamp
When the trees their summer splendor, change to raiment red and gold… When the summer moon turns mellow, and the nights are getting cold… When the squirrels hide their acorns, and the woodchucks disappear… Then we know that this is autumn, loveliest season of the year.

Drizzling dusk by Vahlenkamp
The darkness was about to descend, while a light drizzle descended. A perfect ending to a long sunny day.

Flourishing fly by Vahlenkamp
Flowers flies or hover flies as they are also called, is a species-rich family with over 6,000 known species. These insects have many different rich colors and patterns. Many mimic bees and wasps, which gives them protection against, inter alia, birds.
This here found itself at home in the afternoon sun on a sunflower. A flower that they obviously like very much. No wonder, since it for the fly, is as big as a supermarket is for us.
It got virtually the entire store for itself. Well, it was not alone for long. Eventually some fellow species came visiting.

Galactic game by Vahlenkamp
An early morning dew hung heavily on the vegetation. Spider Webs which usually are not particularly visible, now shone full of sparkling water droplets.
A wonderful interplay of water and silk. Yes, silk. I did not know it before, but it’s actually made of floating silk coming out of the body of a spider. These silk fibers then immediately solidify, and obtain a greater tensile strength than hardened steel (with the same thickness).
The other astounding is the water invisible inherent characteristic; Surface tension. The main reason for droplets not to burst, but continuing to hang. When one came right close into this unique interaction, it looked almost like a sparkling miniature micro cosmos. Fascinating!
But where had the spider gone? I’m not sure, but I suppose it sat hiding somewhere, waiting patiently for the droplets to evaporate when the sun later rose.
