Low-angle photo of a tall tan mushroom with a shaggy cap and white flecks on the stem, standing among fallen leaves in a green forest with sunlight behind it.


Where's that confounded caterpillar?

Thoughtful Garden:
A friend of mine is growing large purple neurons in his garden.

Purple kohlrabi bulbs growing above soil in a wooden raised garden bed, with broad green leaves and purple stems, water droplets on the leaves.

Very nice mushroom, Andy!
 
I just got two of my pics accepted into a local Conservation Photography Contest.

These are the five I submitted:

Photo of a paved walkway bordered by blue flowers and a teal lamp post, with a blue railing on a bridge and tall green trees in the background.
Close-up of a spider web strung with many water droplets, against a blurred foggy background of boats and a harbour.
Close-up of a yellow and brown dragonfly perched on a braided white rope against a blue sky with clouds, with a distant sailboat on the sea.
Foggy harbour scene with several white sailboats moored in the background, their masts fading into the mist, and a white buoy and a cormorant perched on a wooden raft in the calm water in the foreground.
Close-up photo of a branch with bright red and yellow-orange berries, some with split yellow-orange husks opening around red fruit, against a blurred background.


Which two would you have accepted?

See, now that's what I would have picked.
Not the least reason because those birds in the mist are Grebes - a protected species in our lagoon in the park (kind of the point of the Photo contest). I'd have thought it was a shoe-in.

They went with cobweb and dragonfly.

I can almost smell the thing while viewing your picture.
