Sunset over the pond at Martin Luther King Park in White Oak, Maryland.

An old oak in the fog. This tree has unfortunately been cut down since I took this picture, which upset me because it was a background figure in many a childhood memory. It didn't even look like it was dying, so I'm not sure why they cut it down.

This adorable fungus is called turkey tail (Trametes versicolor), according to Urban Pantheist, who did a post on it recently. (And thank the gods he did, because I know absolutely nothing about fungi and would never have figured it out otherwise.)
