A very wet start to the year

We started the new year with a trip to the forest. It rained heavily all day, but it was warm. We found a lot of mushrooms with interesting shapes in the undergrowth among the leaves. It looks lovely but it definitely doesn't feel like winter.

I love the monochrome coloring of this shot. The water gives all those leaves and lichens a nice glaze. Good shot!
