Frivolity, caught in the little
details of the competitive games
and traditions,
never was
the serious pondering about the whole.
That’s why it remained
as frivolity.
Frivolity can wear awesome shoes.
Frivolity can wear a first-rate hat.
Frivolity can appear to be intelligent,
in frivolous ways.
Mushroom Gills … Photo by Thomas Peace c. 2019

I enjoyed your musings, but I laughed at the photo. The underside of that mushroom looks remarkably like one of the air filters for my car — and that’s no fooling!
Man has been using nature’s designs for eons, Linda! … except nature’s don’t pollute.
Marla told me that it was snowing outside when i woke up this morning and when i looked outside i saw that it wasn’t. 🙂
Mushroom gills are phenomenal, Tom. And it’s purple? wow
There are many mushroom gill designs, Luda, and i am fascinated by all of them. 🙂
Frills, gills and a bit of frivolity. Very nice!
Thanks, Belinda! Mushrooms and fish have a lot in common! 🙂
This mushroom is dressed to the gills … (you know I had to Google to see if that was an expression because it seemed to have fallen off the track in favor of being “dressed to the nines”) – either way, that is one pretty purple mushroom.
“Dressed to the gills” is the one familiar to me; must be my age! Thanks re the shroom! Awesome how many mushrooms connect with the roots of trees and plants and communicate with them and share nutrients! 🙂
Yup, my folks said it all the time, so “dressed to the gills” is “as old as the hills” … actually, I am not far behind you in age Tom. 🙂
I love the contrast between the mushroom gills and the veins of the leaf! Great photo, Tom!
I do too! Thanks, Sabine! 🙂 So cool how many mushrooms connect with the roots of trees and plants and communicate with them and share nutrients! 🙂
Symbiotic relationship!
There’s nothing like a frivol here and there, bu tin the main, be aware, let’s not be fooled as you say
The number of people duped seems endless.
