Shroomville
Headed out especially early this morning … up to the woods … to the deer sanctuary to be specific … ... well … you know, nothing in life is ever guaranteed!! ... Saw some deer – in the distance ... !!
Chuckles
Eventually we decided to walk … open ourselves up to the world of possibilities. Would have it that today was the day for many a mushroom to break into the light of day and make his appearance in the world of Epping Forest. It was truly quite incredible!! I saw mushrooms today that I never before knew existed as a species ;)
:)
Out of all the ‘shroom-shots, I just love this little “village” :)

Bettina, this is a terrific capture! So well composed, lit, and executed!
BettinaSchwarz replied
:)) Kevin :) thank you :) glad that traipsing around the underbrush and twisting up next to the fallen trees has yielded likeable results ;)
Simon Duckworth
this is lovely, great low down angle. love the light thro the fungi
BettinaSchwarz replied
lol … the low down angle was achieved through twisting into a knot on the damp forest floor ;) chuckles not a single graceful movement at the time ;)
