setting up still life

still life with Daughter & Chanterelle picked today

Today was my last day of Chanterelle picking for the season. It would have been nice to get out more this year. Some of the best and largest ones I found were emerging from under a large log:

Chanterelles Under A Log In The Sun

Chantrelles November 14, 2008

I met two Russians with a beautiful 4-month-old German Sheperd. They assumed I was Ukrainian because I drive a VW.

The Chanterelles were picked yesterday afternoon along the northern Oregon coast and the raspberries this morning in our yard. I love this time of the year.

After a surf along the northern Oregon coast Tuesday I found my first Chanterelles of the 2008 mushroom season:

They were exactly where I found my first patch in 2007 only 2 weeks or so earlier.
