Red Letter Day

I've never caught a red eye, but I've sure seen a lot of one lately -- on my own face. Week 4 of the mystery "infection" (?) and finally, despite the persistent itch, I am able to focus and look into my own eye without horror. The redness dims.

But the woods flame in odes balancing on twigs and plants and fungus emerging from heaped pine straw.

Halloween Pennant
Swift Setwing
Unknown Fungus (Tubifera ferruginosa or Red Raspberry Slime?

Each ode and the little raspberry lump join me in shouting Hallelujah! Maybe this is my graduation day from mystery ailment to rosy health!
