Today’s photograph is of a homely bit of jelly fungus growing on a stick resting on the roadbank. The afternoon sunlight streams through it, as if illuminating it from within. Walking the same stretch of road for so long, I come to appreciate subtle differences in shape, hue, texture. The gelatinous feel of a jelly fungus is a tactile respite from so many branches and leaves, tendrils and thorns, grasses and stones.
