Parasol

With our temperatures nearing 90°/32 this last week and the humidity up there as well I despair of ever having cooler autumn weather. This mushroom gives testament to my despair!

super details, Katy! I can see the powder on the top. Wow! I am TIRED of this hot, humid weather. I want some fall weather.

[Janiskay]

Wonderful capture! Marvelous details!

[Maggiemae]

Lovely focus on this unusually coloured fungus - I thought they popped out in Autumn! So they know about the seasons, its the weather that doesn't act it out!

[Tara]

Love mushrooms and you did a fantastic job on this one!

[summerfield]

awesome mushroom and super shot, katy. i love the details and the colour of the 'shroom. it is indeed like a parasol. aces!

[Darlene]

This is such an awesome shot, Katy. I love the detail that you captured. It has been close to 90 here but not humid. Tomorrow we cool off and hopefully get some rain tomorrow night. Hoping our Fall is cool from tomorrow through the end of the month. I feel for you. FAV

[Rick Schies]

@maggiemae @summerfield @darsphotos Please forgive me for not mentioning my gratitude for the FAv you gave me! That is what I get for rushing! I truly appreciate it!

[Gillian]

Oh, how fabulous! I simply love it. It looks so magical, as if fairies and elves will be gathering come full moon.

[katy]

[Marilyn Wigen]

I love these tent mushrooms... and this pic is full of rich detail and wonderful color, focus and textures!

[Tara]

One of my favorites - mushrooms! Great shot Katy! Thanks for your super kind comment on my collage :)

[Darlene]

@grammyn We woke to a bit of rain that did not last but it happened and smelled of fresh rain and it cooled off some today. Our forecast shows nothing more than the high 70's now.

[Ruth Moucharafieh]

Now this is EXCELLENT!!!!! Beautiful! and so you were down on the floor smelling the soil?!!!

[J. Voorberg]

wow..fantastic detail here Katy....you must have been lying on the ground for this shot

[katy]

@ruthmouch @jayberg Thanks so very much my dear friends! I did bend over to put the camera close to the ground which would have been almost as interesting to see as me lying on the ground perhaps! ;~}

[katy]

@marilyn I haven't ever seen one before! Thanks for all your kind comments about this shot!

[katy]

@tara11 I appreciate your positive support, Tara! Thanks!

[Marilyn Wigen]

@grammyn I'm not sure I have seen one with that same coloring. Marisa had some in her yard but I think they were more brown on the ridges.

[katy]

@marilyn It is the rideges I have never seen. All mine in the past have been smooth on top.

[Diane]

Beautiful detail!

[katy]

@eudora Thanks, Diane! I am glad to have you back around!
