A Little Man Is Standing in the Wood
He’s wearing a red cloak that looks like a hood. (inspired by a German children’t song) The woman, too, wears white and red gear. She seems to march and shout: I am here. Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge: Red plus one more colour
Three Late Autumnal Trios
New Year starts with a thorough house cleaning. These are left-over trios from last year. Horse chestnuts, fly agaric mushrooms, carline thistles. PS: What’s the plural of fly agaric – flies agaric, fly agarics? Thursday Trio

Say, who can this manikin be?
An old German children song goes like this:
Ein Männlein steht im Walde ganz still und stumm,
es hat von lauter Purpur ein Mäntlein um.
Sagt, wer mag das Männlein sein,
das da steht im Wald allein
mit dem purpurroten Mäntelein?
This is one translation I could find:
There stands a little man in the wood alone,
he wears a little mantle of reddish brown.
Say, who can the manikin be,
standing there beneath the tree,
in his little mantle of reddish brown?

Toadstools from an enchanted forest
I was on a long hike in the Pfälzerwald today. The weather is turning and the light filtering through the greenish yellow leaves was muted and transformed the forest which had been gay and light only a a day ago. Friends have told me that this year is very good for mushrooms and although it is said that the delicious porcini mushrooms grow in close proximity to the fly agaric I could only find the poisonous red caps with white dots. Just as well – they may be deadly but are much more photogenic.
At A Photo a Week it’s open season this week, or rather an open topic. Have a look what others made with this freedom of choice.
