Exactly that: Wall fluff!
On one of my walks my eye caught something ‘strange’ on a wall of a building I pass by every day. I’m pretty sure it wasn’t there before. At least not that fluffy and cottony!
I suppose it’s some kind of fungus but hey little fluffs, you work fast and I can’t resist taking pictures of you!
I do hope they’ll forgive my intrusion and artistic modifications!
Aren’t they gorgeous?
Please say ‘yes’, I wouldn’t want them to hold a grudge and turn green on me!
Say cheese, little fluffies!
Oh, look how fluffy you are!
Melon tinted fluffies…
And one more…
Sad to leave you but I know you have work to do!
A lovely -rest of- Thursday everyone!

I have some stuff in my freezer with similar “formations.” I scraped some off once, and it said “Use before the end of the Paleolithic period.” Oops… 😬💦
No no no…. you should leave them alone! Such lovely entities deserve to grow as they please!!!!! How about some ambrosia though? 🍨🍨🍨🍨🍨🍨🍨🍨🍨🍨🍨🍨
You have a remarkable eye. I found you through your comment on Hedy’s blog. Glad I did.
Oh, thank so much 🙏! …and I’m also very glad you did! I just visited your blog. Fantastic work! 🙂
Thank YOU very much. Glad you like it. Where are you from?
🙂 Greece. Are you from Iceland?
No. Northern California. Look deeper into the blog and you’ll see.
Mobile is very limited in that 🙄! I’m sure if I were on my mac I’d have seen it! Great! 🙂
When you’re on your Mac, take a look. I’ll be looking deeper into your work. Your watercolors are wonderful.
I am and already enjoying it very much! Exceptional work!!!! 🙂
Thank you very much! I look forward to looking more deeply at your work as soon as I am able to.
Oh, likewise!!!! 🙂
amazing post, Marina! art everywhere!
She hides in the most unexpected places, doesn’t she?! 😉 Cheers my friend! 😊
OMG! The fluff looks like Johnny’s fur. (Get out the lint roller!)
Seriously beautiful shots, Marina.
Definitely a fluffy part of Earth Nerve Net, I think. Ask Hera what she thinks!

A ha ha haaaaaaa………
You think Johnny visited Athens without you knowing?!!!!!!
Thank you, my sweet friend. I just fell in love with that fluff! I was lucky too because the owners saw it a day after I photographed it and scraped it off. I was kind of sad seeing it… poor fluff…
Hera loves all nature, so I know she’d love this. I can imagine her with a bit of fluff on her nose! 😉
xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo
All Hera has to do is give Johnny a nestle. She’ll have all the fluff she’ll ever needs!
No, Johnny has been here all along. I believe what happened is; A bunch of Johnny’s fur tumbleweeds, tumbled in the wind, onto a ship and over to Greece. Then they tumbled over to that wall.
I can’t prove it, but it’s the most reasonable answer! 😀
xoxoxoxoxxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxox
I’ll tell her…. she’s melting already! 😉
Hmmm…that seems like a logical explanation, even Spock would agree!

Yes, Live Long and Prosper!

This stuff is known as an efflorescence. It consists of minerals (like gypsum, for example). Moisture in the walls dissolves the minerals and they recrystallize on the surface when the water evaporates. The basic problem is that the wall is somehow getting wet. Maybe there is a broken tube somewhere or rain is entering. In any case, they look beautiful.
Oh, wow! ‘Efflorescence’ sounds beautiful! I was guessing it would be something like that but didn’t know the process …or the name! We’ve been having many rains this year so this is probably what caused …efflorescence! Thank you for the enlightenment! 🙂
I’m looking that up! It could be a useful word!
Does, doesn’t it?! 🙂
Maybe it’s an alien species poised to take over the planet! Better get your tricorder out! 😄😄
Could be the origin of the Tribbles!!!!!
Ha ha… at least they are benign… providing they don’t multiply too much!
🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
🙂🤕(that one IS supposed to be a wounded head! — Android..) 😁😄 keep on being funny and original, Marina!!! 😄😁
🙂 I’ll do me best 😉
lol 😁😁😁
Beauty is everywhere if we look for it. Lovely fluff images. 😍
Oh, it is and I know you know… first hand! 😉 Thank you, Sylvia! 😘
This isn’t like anything I’ve ever encountered, but now I will be on the search! Your artistic nature comes out even in wall fluff. 🙂
Ah, thank you, Debra! I think it was those fluffs that pulled me towards them! 😉 Have a lovely Friday! 😘
Marina
The cutest thing was you calling them little fluffiest.
🙂
A ha ha…well they looked so cute I immediately developed a fondness for them! 😉
Reminds me of a trip we took with another couple to California many years ago. At one winery, the guide took us into a wine cave/ Interestingly, the walls were covered with fur . actually mold. A sight I will never forget.
Yuck! It would make me think twice before drinking that wine… 🙄😉
This was out in the open that’s why it was weird and not as ‘ominous’! 😉 Yamas!
Oh no … that wine is so good. Looked for pics of the cave we were in but couldn’t find.
Joking! I’m sure it would be a good wine! 😉😃
That’s amazing and makes for gorgeous photo’s. Could it be snow clinging to the wall? xoxoxo
It does! I couldn’t stop snapping! 😉
Does look like snow, doesn’t it?! It’s some kind of mould / fungus.
xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo
well yick then….still beautiful!!!! I guess we need fungus for some reason, lol! ❤
Yes, we do… or at least I did at the time! 😉 ❤🤗❤🤗❤
We all need fungus if it’s pretty! ❤️🌺💜❤️🌺💜❤️🌺💜

You remind us that art is everywhere and to open our eyes to what is around us. There is so much to learn about our world.
So true, my dear Rebecca …so true! xoxoxoxoxo

A FUN…FLUFF PIECE! 😀
Awww…. thank you! 🙂
And where did the fluff come from?
Between cracks on the paint of the wall and not a deserted house wall! I see it every day! It wasn’t there before! I’m guessing it’s from the rains we’ve had this year. Lots of them! 🙂
