It’s been a very hot dry summer. After just a bit of rain, a few mushrooms are starting to appear.I spotted these two in deep shade.Even at ISO 1000 my depth of field was a bit narrow. This rather ordinary subject is always challenging fun.
Mushrooms in all their forms retain a fascination for me – they grow so low on the ground that I occasionally require assistance rising from admiring them!
Ah dang, not one fairy to be seen. 😀 These are lovely! Still, the like button won’t load. Must be something on my end, but I have no idea how to fix it.
Nice phots, Belinda! I miss the rain… Your Like button has stopped appearing for me, wasn’t there my last visit. I shut off my ad- blocker, no difference. Hmmm ?
Your welcome, and I’m not surprised they haven’t responded yet. There is a way to chat with them, try a search for this. It’s worked for me a couple times.
Interesting how the b/w always makes us look at the patterns more than we do in the colour photos. Nature sure has a lot of beauty, and you capture it well.
I agree that when you strip away the colour, detail and patterns can be striking. A talented someone I know told me when I first started in photography, that there’s always something to shoot, how you approach it makes the shot 😊.

Thanks, Deborah 😊. A few others have mentioned the “like button” problem. I hope to hear back from WordPress about it soon.

Thanks, John! With the temps you’ve been getting, I bet you miss the rain. I’ve written WordPress about the “like” issue. Haven’t heard back yet 😏.
