Working Bee

It was a cool day today, just right for a big bonfire.
The occasion was a working bee at the Clarkesdale Bird Sanctuary (previously visited in August last year), and the purpose was to clean up some of the dead branches lying around in one small section of the property. A group of about 10 people spent several hours moving dead branches large and small to be added to the fire:



There were lots of fascinating fungi growing on larger fallen trees:


After several hours all the accumulated smaller branches had been added to the fire, and it was just a matter of letting it burn down:
Then it was time to head home, tired but happy after a day out.

The fungi is beautiful. I bet that fire was lovely and warm to stand by.

A thin plume of smoke spiralling up through the trees is a longtime indicator of human activity. You have captured that so well I can almost smell it.
Great images of the fungi, hope they are in your books.
