Mushroom

Took a few moment today to see if any cool mushrooms have finally popped up due to all the rain we've been having. I was happy to see two rather pretty ones. This one was discovered in the woods behind our house.

Beautiful! I love your point of view and the rays of sunshine!

@deniseinindy Thank you Denise! In the past I never would have thought about the underside of a mushroom, but thanks to 365, it's usually the first pov I shoot!

[Kerri]

Beautiful

@kerristephens Thank you Kerri!

[Taffy]

Great POV for this -- it makes it look gigantic!

[MaryBeth Dailey]

Great minds DO think alike! Towering fungus was our theme for this day.🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄

[Timothy]

great shot

[SIMMY]

Nice POV, like the lighting too

[Dione Giorgio]

Looks huge. Lovely shot and pov.

[Rick Schies]

You must have gotten all the rain. We still haven't had a good rain for a while

[Yao RL]

I am trying to imagine your position when this photo was taken. Lovely shot.

[Roe Jan]

Nice point of view and it shows lots of detail. Good shot!

[Ann H. LeFevre]

@taffy Thanks Taffy- it is actually a rather large one- so your estimate was not that far off.
@espyetta I love those little mushrooms!!
@twr Thanks Timothy!
@simster Thanks Simmy!
@sangwann Thanks Dione! It's not a small one- larger than most.
@digitalrn Thanks Rick- we had two huge downpours this week. It would be sunny one moment, raining cats and dogs the next and then boom- out comes the sun again. Go figure.
@yaorenliu Thank you Yao! Actually, I was standing and the camera was resting on the ground. I do not have a lot of mobility in my left hip and two knees so getting up and down is really hard. Most of the time I either hold the camera lower or set it on the ground and take several shots aiming in the direction of what I want to capture. The camera puts out a red light as the focus is adjusting to the subject matter so I can be fairly accurate as to what I shoot using that as a judge. And thanks to digital I can take quite a few shots to get it right and delete the ones that are no good.
@roejan Thanks Roe Jan!

[Terry]

Love the POV on this.... great shot

[Henri Russell]

Wow, from this angle it looks like a giant toadstool. Great shot.

[summerfield]

lovely pov on this one, ann. could little piggy stand underneath it or not?

[Kathryn Marshall]

Beautiful shot. Great POV

@sarasdadandmom @henrir @summerfield @daisy

Thanks Terry!
Thanks Henri! This one was pretty big
.
Thanks Vikki! Yes, she could have. I hadn't thought about putting her under a mushroom. I don't know if it's still standing but I keep my eyes open for another one after the rain clears up this week end.

Thanks Kathryn!

[Laraine Kensicki]

i love this imaginative point of view - the mushrooms love the very moist shady areas of the yard, don't they?

[Mrs. Smith]

Oh wow! I like the perspective of this. Crawling around on the ground!

[Ann H. LeFevre]

@eniaral Thanks Laraine! They seem to grow all over mine- but then mine is pretty moist all over too.
@mrssmith203 Thanks Carla! lol No crawling for this girl! I have a hard enough time getting down and even harder getting up- so it's put the camera down on the ground and shoot for me.

[Bev]

Nice shot! How do you get that angle? Do you lay on the ground??? I love it! The detail is awesome! Nice job, Ann! :)

[Ann H. LeFevre]

@prttblues Thank you Bev! Noooo! I do not lay on the ground! haha I would not be able to get up with my arthritic knees and hip! lol Well, I can get down and get up but it does NOT look pretty! I put the camera on the ground and use the electronic eye (that red flash the camera puts out as it's focusing) to aim the camera at what I want to get in the picture. I take about 6 to 12 shots and then delete what I don't need.
