I was so incredibly lucky today, I know that this little owl lives in the area and saw it a few times already, but it always flew away long before I was able to get a good photo.
But today it wasn't phased by my presence at all and allowed me to get this photo. That was such an awesome experience!

Just some moss, loved the single little mossy head sticking out.

Similar to my last post featuring enoki mushrooms, I thought I might continue the close up look at the lamellae, this time they are oyster mushrooms. Very delicious indeed!

A small frog I found in the woods, he was climbing up a tree stump and was calm enough for me to get a few photos.

A tiny amethyst laccaria with an interesting cap. The cap was no more than 2 cm in diameter and had lamellae growing through its center. And of course the obvious damage likely from some snails.

A tiny amethyst laccaria (Laccaria amethystina) with an also tiny fly on top.
The mushroom was apparently visited by snails already, I think that's why it looks a little.. Incomplete.

I promise there will be fewer mushrooms again soon - but for now I'm completely caught up in finding and if possible identifying them.
This one should be Mycetinis alliaceus or the garlic parachute. Sadly I searched it's name after I went home again and thus can't smell it to see if I'm right.

Something different this time. Like many other people I tried to capture comet C/2023 A3 (Tsuchinshan-ATLAS). It wasn't a challenge to spot it on the night sky, but it was hard to capture the impressive view on camera. So happy with the results! First one is with 70 mm, the second photo was taken with my 400 mm.

Breaking through the moss was this very young mushroom. I think it is a grey spotted Amanita, because of the vertical lines on the ring. There were other, older mushrooms around it and none had red coloring at damaged spots, so I don't think it's a blushing Amanita.

One of the many, many dragonflies that occupied our little pond this year. Such a friendly smile, as long as you are not their prey.
