Persistence

I find it hard to believe that the mushroom actually pushed the iron off the ground, but it makes a great image! Found in the pine forest at Wentworth Falls, Blue Mountains Australia a few weeks ago.

Persistence belongs to the following groups:

Former DPF Members, Live, Love, Dream, Living Christianity and Rusty, Crusty and Falling to Bits

Rosalie Dale IPA in reply to Trudi ~’s comment, 2 months ago

I’m still wondering if it pushed, or just was opportunistic and grew where the least resistance was!!! Thanks for the kind sords.

Appreciated Carol – I identify with its’ predicament!
Rosalie Dale IPA in reply to Will Barton’s comment, 2 months ago

:+) Just down the road from your place, Will!! Wonder if they are still sprouting or if the weather’s done them in. Thanks for the encouragement!
Rosalie Dale IPA in reply to Noelene Davies’s comment, 2 months ago

This simple little mushroom has amazing powers Noelene – been known to make reindeers fly!!! Thanks for the kind words – pleased you like it.
Rosalie Dale IPA in reply to Maximus’s comment, 2 months ago

I know of people who wear a miner’s helmets with lights attached when seriously shooting shrooms Max – I wasn’t that keen (or prepared!!) so made do with a little ‘darkroom’ help here!
Rosalie Dale IPA in reply to SharonD’s comment, 2 months ago

Thanks heaps Sharon

Hey Dan – this was my first proper spotting of these mushrooms – not commonly found around here, so I was beside myself trying to get them all as best I could … couldn’t resist this particular scenario! Thanks my friend.
Rosalie Dale IPA in reply to Daniel Fitzgerald’s comment, 2 months ago

Thanks Daniel – isn’t the diversity of this site great – I shoot the little mushrooms and you catch the huge lightening vistas!! Great to share the different aspects of nature. I do appreciate your visit.

Rosalie Dale IPA in reply to Krys Bailey’s comment, 2 months ago

Hey Krys – will have to see if I can find a fairy for this one maybe!
Krys Bailey, 2 months ago

Hahaha! That would be perfect, Rosalie! ;o)
Rosalie Dale IPA in reply to Krys Bailey’s comment, 2 months ago

Trouble is find the right sort of fairy! Any that hang out with red mushrooms are likely to be a bit strange methinks!!!
Krys Bailey, 2 months ago

Hmmm … you have a point there! Perhaps an elf might be more agreeable! ;o)

Thanks Tainia.
Rosalie Dale IPA in reply to Ahmad Sabra’s comment, 2 months ago

Ahmad it was an accidental finding!! We stopped to shoot the misty pine forest, and also found masses of these mushrooms. Because I like rust, went to take a pic of this sheet of old iron, and found a hidden treasure! You never know what is going to pop up!

Julie- thank you, much appreciated.

Rosalie Dale IPA in reply to Gilberte’s comment, 2 months ago

Ah – are they Birch trees!!! I know they always seem to be under certain type of pine tree (found some more in the Highlands today). They surely are photogenic! Thank you Gilberte for your kind words.

Rosalie Dale IPA in reply to Phil Thomson IPA’s comment, 2 months ago

Sometimes I wonder about what He made Phil – these really are powerful shrooooooms apparently if you eat them! Certainly attractive though. Thanks for the compliments my friend, and the favouriting.

Great toadstool/mushroom, looks like the type you see fairies sitting on. Well you might as well you have had the troll and the pumpkin. Great image.
Rosalie Dale IPA in reply to mariarty’s comment, 2 months ago

I certainly have this as a ‘fairy’ version also but just can’t quite get the fairy looking right yet Marie – will keep working on it!!! Pleased you like it – thank you.

You can get arrested for going out dead of night looking for SOME mushrooms … Although I think this one was worth the risk for a picture like that.
Philip Golan, 2 months ago

Rosalie Dale IPA in reply to Philip Golan’s comment, 2 months ago

Thanks for favouriting this Phil – it sat in my file for weeks before I put it up … just goes to show … !!!

Hi Rosalie, Fantastic lighting in this one Rosalie and great composition, we have them all over the place here at the moment and they can grow quite big, glad to see this one doing “pushups”, nicely captured…
Rosalie Dale IPA in reply to Josie Jackson’s comment, 2 months ago

Yes I heard that Tassie the place for these fungi – they do seem to like a particular kind of pine/birch tree??? Now I know what to look for I have found a few more but they dry out very quickly and go yuck!! Thanks Josie.
