Day 338: Fungus amungus

When visiting Maren and their new, very neat house-in-the-woods, I was fascinated by all of the mushrooms.  So today I grabbed Maren's kids and mine and headed out to the new digs to take some fungus fotos.  hehe.

OK.  This first one isn't fungus.  But I liked it!


















And there you have it!  The best of over 100 shots!  Uh..yeah.  I was having too much fun on my stomach in the leaves and dirt communing with the daddy longs legs spiders!

Wow! Fabulous photos! That's a LOTTA mushrooms. I hope you checked yourself for ticks when you got home. (Not to be a spoil-sport, or anything) In my mind, you are truly willing to do anything to get the perfect shot!

daddy long legs don't bother me...it's those other hairy spiders that plain ole freaks me out. lol.

oh my goodness Lynn these are fantastic, you have even got a couple of little guys who are either eating or visiting the fungi cute. The last one looks like rather sick bananas. I did the same thing during my photography summer school laid on the ground in the leaf litter and ended up with a huge spider bite on my arm ouch be careful.

Kathryn: After you posted this, I got all itchy and had the creepy-crawly feeling! But no ticks, thank goodness. I grew up in the woods in BC, and didn't think about ticks at all there. Too cold. HA! Keep forgetting that they exist in this neck of the woods.

Se'lah: Oooh--I don't like those big hairy ones either. *shudder*

Jenna: HA! I knew you would! Very different and not so airy looking as yours, though. Funny how the same thing can look so different!

Kim: It was great fun. No spider bites--but the mosquitos almost carried me off. I swear, they were salivating as they came in for a landing.
