If you are not sick and tired of morels yet you will enjoy this. Come with me to Sonny’s. Visit the Amazing Mushroom, up close and personal. Marvel at Mama Nature’s inventiveness. (This is my first experiment with a WordPress slideshow, and if you are on slooow dialup as I am you may wish to kill me. Please do not kill me. What would happen to Miss Sadie, the Cowboy, and Miss Puss?)
Can you stand more about morels?

Well, look at it this way. Chris and Sonny only found one morel.

That’s a morel and then some!!! I love the fork, knife, spoon, salt and pepper.

Thank you, Katherine. The Torch Lake Market is getting to be a high-toned sort of place indeed.

I can’t get enough of morels!
…Wish they were on my plate.
How did you make the slideshow? I haven’t seen it before.
Maybe you will loose patience if there are too many slideshows around. I still wish you a high sppeed connection.

We all wish me a high speed connection so that I would stop whining. Someday, someday. Meanwhile, I will just have to go to the library once a week to watch everyone else. The slideshow feature is part of the adding media routine. Once you have a gallery of photos loaded, open the Gallery and at the bottom there will be two options: Insert Gallery and Insert Slideshow. That’s all there is to it.
I fiddled with it a bit, and it seems to work best if all the photos are the same size and configuration, and if there are captions. I do not know why.

Fun….a slideshow! And doesn’t the morel look like it’s glowing? Yumm! You do know that you’re driving Kathy crazy, don’t you? Hmmmm….maybe that’s the plan?!?! 🙂

I think one of the closeups looks like piecrust. I love piecrust.
I did not begin with a plan to drive Kathy crazy, but I see that it has worked out that way. It’s only fair. She has high speed internet, I have an enormous morel.

I am not a fan-o-fungus, but this is very cool! And I really like the wordpress slide show idea – neat. I’ll have to look into that sometime.

Coolness, in my experience, trumps fandom every time.

Glad I waited until coming to town so I won’t even be tempted to take your life, Gerry. Fun slide show! Was there a little beetle creature peeking from inside the morel? I thought I saw one in one of your shots, and it reminded me of the first time anyone gave me a bag of morels, which I THREW AWAY because there were BUGS IN THEM! That was a long, long time ago. I learned fast.

Oh, dear, I hope there was not a beetle in a shot. I think it was probably bits of grit and forest flotsam and jetsam. Morels are a pain to tidy up, somewhat like the Cowboy on a bad hair day. (Which is not to swear that the mushroom was bug-free. As you point out, bugs love them about as much as people do. Must be like living in the gingerbread house – and here I come, the wicked witch.)

You are so right, Gerry. If we look at the larger picture–it all balances out. No morels this year. But high-speed Internet. Next year, god willing, we’ll both have high speed Internet AND morels.

Would that be a wonderful spring or what? It would.

Is that not the loveliest morel ever? Well, the most astonishing one anyway!
