Close-up photo taken at ground level in a deciduous forest on Crowley’s Ridge. In the foreground, a cluster of vivid red-orange Cinnabar chanterelles (Cantharellus cinnabarinus) grows through dark, damp soil rich with leaf litter, twigs, and moss. The mushrooms are small, with wavy, flared caps and ridged undersides. A broad, bright green leaf arches above them dramatically, partially obscuring the background. Behind it, tall oak trees blur into a lush, green canopy, hinting at the shaded woodland setting.

“I’m not a lady
I’m just a girl
A little bit messy
A little bit free
I don’t follow rules
I don’t sit still
I don’t smile sweetly
I don’t pretend
I’m not a lady
I’m just a girl
A little bit fierce
A little bit bold
I don’t fit molds
I don’t conform
I don’t apologize
I don’t belong”
Not a Lady
“I’m not a lady
I’m just a girl
A little bit crazy
A little bit loud
I don’t sip tea
I don’t cross my legs
I don’t keep quiet
I don’t play nice”
A woman with gray-streaked hair pulled back and wearing glasses and a gray sweater takes a close-up selfie on a wooden porch. Beside her stands a large, fluffy white Great Pyrenees dog with slightly dirty fur, looking calmly into the camera. The woman smiles gently, and the scene feels peaceful, grounded, and quietly joyful. A weathered white building is in the background, partially framed by trees.
Uninvited visitor. Unexpected blessing. Some days the Ridge sends you exactly what you need. #arkansas #crowleysridge
A close-up of a young yellow mushroom emerging from oak leaf litter on Crowley’s Ridge. The cap is domed, vivid golden-yellow with rough textured patches and bits of soil stuck to it. The stout white stem is partly buried in the earth, with loose debris and a small round bump of veil material at the base. A few green blades of grass curl behind it, and the forest in the background is softly blurred.
Yellow Patches (Amanita flavoconia) in oak leaf litter on Crowley’s Ridge. Absolutely not for dinner. #Arkansasmycology
Three small brown mushrooms with delicate, pleated caps and thin, dark stems emerge from damp, patchy grass. The caps are lightly domed with a darker center and striated edges. Surrounded by clover and leaf litter, the fungi appear worn and transient, catching the morning light.
Likely Psathyrella or Parasola. #Arkansasmycology
Two reddish-brown mushrooms with yellow stems and pore-covered undersides growing at the base of a mossy brick wall, surrounded by fallen oak leaves on damp soil.

A peaceful screened-in porch on a rainy day, with light wood floors and soft beige-cushioned chairs arranged around a black metal table. A ceiling fan hangs overhead, and lush green trees are visible through the screen, misted with rain. A colorful pillow with a bird design rests on one chair, and a potted plant hangs in the corner. The scene is calm, quiet, and cozy.
Happy place. #arkansasdelta #crowleysridge
