Under a mushroom sky
I was out for a walk yesterday, when I spied these HUGE mushrooms!!! I thought at first (from a distance) that it was trash in someones yard. Upon close inspection… WOW!!! What a fun time I had photographing these!!! Due to the fact that it has been raining in the evenings, they were able to grow…. and as I lay in the grass to get some shots off, my daughter was quick to point out that there were mosquito’s EVERYWHERE!!!!!! AAAAAAAAA I’m covered in bites, and itching like crazy….. but hey, anything for the shot right????
Thank you for taking the time to view my work!!!
Have a most excellent day!!!!

What price sheer genius?!?
Many great achievements and works or art come at a cost…just look at Michelangelo painting the Sistine Chapel…his back never recovered!
I’m so glad you suffered for our sake, to bring us the sheer delight of this amazing piece!!
Brilliant macro, genius shot, and wonderful details and colours!!!!

Getting swarmed by hordes of mosquitoes really bites.
But feeling that [artistic] high from a ‘shroom must really shoot you up with euphoric exhileration.
