Golden chanterelle treasure that is. I gathered up my gear, a knife, a stiff bristle brush and a paper bag, I threw in my bird guide and a pair of binoculars for good measure. I was ready for treasure of both of the leafy loamy, fungus kind, and feathery flighty kind. I have written about the satisfactions of mushroom hunting and amateur birding before but it continues to thrill me. \u00a0What is so wondrous is to discover a bounty freely given by the earth to anyone willing to seek and ready to find. \u00a0The pursuit of mushrooms is similar to the inclination to bird watch. \u00a0With birds, as with mushrooms, the quarry is there, it&#8217;s there whether we are looking or not, it&#8217;s there whether we are attending to its beauty and bounty, it&#8217;s there whether we are paying attention or not. \u00a0Bounty and beauty are freely given, the little joys of life flit about and abound in the loamy leafy places all around,\u00a0 but we have to be prepared for the harvest, ready for the sightings. We need our spiritual binoculars to search the skies and our stiff bristle brushes at the ready to dig through the leaf litter and find life&#8217;s little gems right under our noses.\u00a0 I won\u2019t tell you if I found any chanterelles or what kind of birds I spied\u2026 it doesn\u2019t matter anyway, it\u2019s the seeking that matters!<\/p>\n<p><em>I did this Quail &#8220;painting&#8221; on my ipad!\u00a0 I&#8217;m having a lot of fun with this new medium.\u00a0 I found a great way to present these pieces, there is a new process of printing on metal that gives the art a hard ultra sturdy surface and a lovely glow.\u00a0 My web master husband promises to have the Quail and other birds up on my wesite this weekend along with last weeks January painting &#8230;. until then other ipad painting are showing there so go to my website to check it out!\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/lisathorpe.com\/\"> http:\/\/lisathorpe.com<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This week the weather was back to a glorious bright winter days and after the abundance of rain last week, here at The Bishop&#8217;s Ranch, my mind turned to treasure hunting, golden wondrous treasure!
