Autumn in the back "3" {WORDless Wednesday}

Happy Mid-Week!  Already!!

This WORDless Wednesday post is really my testament to the wonders of the iPhone.  :)  We headed out into the back pasture on Friday evening and found ourselves exploring the back 3 acres that is all forest.  Having not planned on doing so, I found that my iPhone really is my must have accessory.  Why?

#1  IF your four year old is CONVINCED that Daddy has you lost.. and not just lost but in her words: "We are REALLY, REALLY VERY lost Daddy", then you know you have GPS back up to guide you out should your darling Hubby really have made a wrong turn.  ;)  Kidding honey - I had complete faith.

Setting out

#2  Feeling artsy on your walk?  Click and Edit photo on the fly.  :)

Maple Leaf.

#3  Come across some interesting nature and your children ask all sorts of questions about what it is called, how it is growing AND can we eat it?  (Always, can we eat it??  Why?!)  Your iPhone has handy-dandy google connection!  :)

The next two pictures are of two different kinds of bracket fungi... these are parasitic to the tree and will continue to feed off the bark and wood even after the tree has perished (Niiiice).  You CAN eat some species but most of the ones without poison are hard and woody.  Okay, no comment.  ;)

Lots of this common stuff:

Green Moss... you can only eat the tip of the plant and not get sick.  Hmmm.

#4  Lastly, thank you iPhone for letting me know the school bus was a little bit delayed, allowing me a couple of minutes to snap these toadstool pictures this morning.

 Google was not so helpful in identifying this 'common' lawn mushroom and thankfully, with bellies still full from breakfast, nobody asked if we could taste it.

Today is "run errands in town" day and my iPhone will once again be there for me with the "twist my arm I need a treat" starbucks app..  ;)

... Happy Wednesday!
