Not Mushroom Inside by maggiemae

Not Mushroom Inside

The rain on the caravan roof drummed on our ears for most of the night and carried on as forecast. Just a few leaks through the top ceiling windows.
I went down to photograph the raging brown waters of the river and found this cute toadstool that cupped a small pool of water!

Three Good Things:
1. Had the Caravan Park to ourselves after deciding not to go onwards due to continual rain.
2. Made macaroni cheese for lunch.
3. Watching other campers come and settle in…. most have grumpy expressions - both sexes!
At first I thought this was a garden ornament! Well spotted Maggiemae, and so wonderfully photographed. I can see the sogginess all around.

@flowerfairyann As you can imagine, Ann, I got rather wet down here on the forest floor to photograph it!

Quite magical. Just needs fairies and elves to come and swim!

Love this -- what a cute mini-pool.

@salza I did do a couple of compositions with this toadstool with pixies but decided to stick to nature, Sally!

That looks very much like the toadstool that was growing inside our caravan last time we hired one for a holiday in Wales. This one has a much better environment to enjoy!

@helenhall Thats hard to believe, Jane! The caravan must have been damp. Hope you told the Company!

Fantastic find, filled with water it looks like a beautiful " Bird Bath".

Well spotted. I too thought it was some sort of garden ornament at first. Never would have guessed it was a mushroom.

I just love reading about your day. This is so cool, maybe you can catch some creature getting a drink out of it tomorrow.

Great find, it does look very soggy though, I bet you're glad you are in a caravan and not a tent!
February 14th, 2017  
A cool find
February 14th, 2017  
I thought it was a bird bath too! Nicely presented!
February 14th, 2017  
love your little toadstool...quite delightful. Just shows...I bet the grumpy faces were not hunting for nice finds in the rain.

What a fun subject. It would be a fabulous place for Yolanda to take a dip

I thought it was a garden ornament until I read your caption. What a great find and capture

@grammyn Yolanda would want to jump from the nearest tree right plonk into this, Katy and Mr Toadstool wouldn't stand up to that!
February 14th, 2017  
What a great find and shot.

@darsphotos We are having a ball, Darlene. So many photographic opportunities I'm going to have a fuzzy fit!

Interesting water font, looks big enough for a bird bath.

Good spot. Seeing the unusual is the icing on the 366 cake!
