Crimson’s Creative Challenge 101
What is this place he’s shown me?
A folly.
Shown to me, why?
For my folly in loving him?
I turn away that he won’t see the hurt in me
With gentle hands, he turns me around
You have it wrong
Here’s my secret place I share with you
For the love of true friends
Is a love that never ends
It is indeed a folly and despite its appearance, it is quite modern.

Welcome to my weekly challenge—open to all—just for FUN, FUN, FUN
Here’s how it works:
Every Wednesday I post a photo (this week it’s that one above.)
You respond with something CREATIVE
Here are some suggestions:
You have plenty of scope and only two criteria:
If you post a link in the comments section of this post I’ll be able to find it
If you include Crimson’s Creative Challenge as a heading, WP Search will find it (theory)
by ‘Searching’ in the WP Reader (fingers crossed)
Here’s wishing you inspirational explosions. And FUN
Forgive me for borrowing a quote: September rains bring October fungi. Except these photos were taken in September, after the very wet weekend of 26th & 27th (most were found along Marriotts Way). Enjoy…

The observant might notice the cobweb spread beneath this fungus, its strands catching the fungus’ spores
And as a reminder of what day this was…

He said my suggestion was asinine.
I asked him why.
He said it doesn’t conform to the accepted theory.
I said what if that theory is wrong?
No, he said, that is truly asinine.
But what about that body of evidence? Do you dismiss it?
Evidence, he snorted. A made-up load of sums.
Then you don’t accept that the Earth revolves around the Sun?
No. That is worse than asinine. That’s tantamount to heresy.

Last weekend (26th & 27th September) was rain and winds and more rain and yet stronger winds. By Monday (28th September) the wind had blown itself out taking the rain clouds with it. Time for a walk. Marriotts Way, out of Norwich, ought to be dry-ish underfoot. I made an early start…

The Wensum usually runs clear and clean. Not this day.

And I thought this was the worst of the damage…

Autumn colour: 📷 28/09/2020
I was hoping for autumn colour. This was it…

… and this…
Windblown Willow: 📷 28/09/2020
Morning exercise: to climb over this willow… oh, and another… that was blocking my path
Wind-wrecked Willow: 📷 28/09/2020
These willows usually stand 3′ from the river…
River Wensum in flood: 📷 28/09/2020
The tiny Tud had burst its banks. The Tud feeds into the Wensum, the Wensum feeds into the Yare and the Yare flows dangerously close to my door.
Floodwaters, not a pond: 📷 28/09/2020
By mid-morning, a misty-rain was veiling the land.

I didn’t mind the mizzle; look what it did to this
Web, hips and rips: 📷 28/09/2020
And here I found colour…
Autumnal oak: 📷 28/09/2020
I found fungi too, and I took a second, shorter walk before going home. But those photos must wait for the Tuesday Treat.
Hope you’ve enjoyed this brief view of a rain-sogged Marriotts Way

This is not a common fungus, and to be at its birth… wow! Definitely qualifies for A Day in the Life, another title achieved in Maria’s Antonia’s #2020picoftheweek

I walked a woodland dark and damp
Until I came upon a bank
Moss encrusted
Soft and green
Where I met the mellowest man I’ve ever seen
Not a care did crease his brow
Rich and loving was his soul
He said for me to sit a while
There we talked soul to soul
Till from this Earth we had to go
No mine, no yours, but ours
Our love, like gold

It’s been raining much of late. Don’t believe me?
South Quay, Great Yarmouth: Sunday 4th September, 7:30 am
And in wet weather, the fungi proliferate. Enjoy…

Mousehold Heath: July 2019
See there on the heath, she’s sitting
Bell-flower jingling, chuckling, giggling
See there on the heath, she is spreading
Purpling, rusting, adding colour
That’s Heather, our daughter
