Waiting for Red Riding Hood

Thank you DeEtta – this little shed was such a great find!!! And to have the red mushrooms as well – like walking into a movie set!

Thanks Kevin – I only put about 10 minutes of post work into this one (having done a few other versions first!!) and almost had to flip a coin as to which one to upload … I do appreciate the favouriting.

I suspect some kind of being, human or animal, had been bunking in here on and off by the junk that was around! But you are right – the wolf has easy access! Thanks Max.

Ah I had no idea Margo what these mushies are called – they were everywhere! Obviously they like this particular pine park or pine needle to feed off. Now I can go look them up and find out exactly. Thanks for the favouriting and the kind words.

Thanks Carol – certainly was a great find!

Oh goodness Sarah – and the umpteen forest shots need dinosaurs or knights or fair maidens or Friar Tucks or something too! Full time job!!

Thanks so much Peace! Very atmospheric place.

Wow Elaine didn’t think to have a sniff around – may have stumbled onto something here!

This was a real bonus Noelene – quite surreal to be there in person! Thanks for the kind words.

So quaint with shingles and all – I would love to know what this shed really was meant for!! Thanks for the favouriting Pinky.

Maddy thanks so much for your enthusiastic response – and for the fav!!!

So pleased you like it – the big bad wolf was actually off photographing somewhere else at the time!!!!!!!

Thanks heaps Paul!

Very unusual mini cottage Eric! Glad you like it.

Thank you Marvin my friend for your encouragement.

Warren you would have had a ball – this was further down the road from where we did the big misty valley shots with Will – next time we will have to take you here…although we may give the lookout at the very end of the road a miss! I am pleased you like this one.

Robert thank you so much, especially for the favouriting.

Mark I am flattered (having had a look at your portfolio!!) Thank you so much.

Thanks for taking the time to comment Jeanne – so pleased you like it.

Thanks heaps Sharon – a real stunner of a find, this was!

:+) I’ve always been envious of those presenting shots of colourful mushrooms so this was an amazing find! Heaps of them – hard to find some that were perfect though – there must be some very ‘happy’ bugs around that place somewhere!!! Thanks heaps Bot!

I am getting quite excited that people are seeing ‘stories’ in my pics lately as that is exactly what I want to do … take people to another place, or tell a story … not just share a snap!!! So thank you Theresa for taking the time to give such a lovely response … I do appreciate it hugely.

My master storyteller – I am sure you would have 100 to tell around an image like this! Hmmm I don’t have a Kodak Brownie around but I could try with an old point and shoot if you like? Nah – won’t subject you to that! Thanks so much for the kind words – you are an encourager Rog! R

The ‘filtered’ mushrooms really blew my mind I must confess Gail!!! Not about to try it either. The only other element here I would have liked would have been a fox or a rabbit or something hiding in the mist! Thanks for the kind words.

Thanks Jerry glad it caught your fancy!!!

Thanks heaps David

Thanks so much Annete (gosh I almost ‘reported’ your comment – those buttons are so small and close together!!!) ... I do appreciate your visit.

Pleased you like it!

Thanks for favouriting this Paul – very kind of you!

Trying to find some elves or fairies to plop into this pic Deb but having trouble! Thank you so much for favouriting this one.

Thanks a lot Julie – esp for the favouriting.

And thank you so much DR for your kind words! Love your portfolio – your flowers are particularly stunning.

Appreciated Phil – it felt like a gift – all sitting there just waiting to be photographed!

I’m trying to work on the fairies Bri … if I find some they’ll be dropped in and reloaded!!! Thanks for the kind words.

:+) Maybe she should feed some to the big bad wolf Gilberte!!! Thank you for your visit.

Hey PLV thank you so much for your encouragement!!! Very much appreciated!! :+)

Rachel thank you so much for favouriting this image and for your lovely comments.

I think you may be right Jason – I have so many shots of the lichen covered pine trees and the red mushies etc – don’t know what I’m going to do with them all!! Thank you for your support and encouragement.

I did do a few versions of this pic Kofoed as I felt the shed was a bit dark, however nothing seemed to make it look naturally lighter – so I ran with it – which makes your comments so valuable! One gets a bit jaded looking at the same thing for hours! Those mushroom were so delightful but as you say, I’d have been off with the pixies if I’d sampled them! Thank you for favouriting this one.

Thanks so much for your kind words Cynthia, as well as the favouriting!

I hope they don’t make my images ‘illegal’ Steven!!! Thank you for your kind words

Birgitta you picked up on something I struggled with and worked on here – keeping the reds while dealing with the greens AND enhancing the fog! Great minds think alike … thank you for taking time to leave your constructive thoughts.

Appreciated Andy thank you

Thanks for the kind words Roddy!

Thanks Rhonda – don’t know what it had been used for – was a strange find!!

The scene could do with some of your cute little white rodents – I think they’d suit it really well (although they’d probably have to be dressed in cute clothes?!!!). Thanks Ellen

Prasad thank you so much

Tracey thanks heaps for your kind comments – pleased you like it
