We Come in Peace

Can you tell I went to the Beaver Island Toy Museum this weekend?
This is the mushroom that I featured in my monochrome photo on Saturday. In her comment, Catherine Pace said, "yes, this mushroom has thrived on constant attention and admiration - i hope you dont neglect it now that you have got what you want from it!!" I laughed and read the comment to Jim, who thought I should post a photo of the chopped up mushrooms we were going to have in our fajitas tonite. But, I thought Catherine was right and decided to give it a chance to star in another image before it fades away.
@gozoinklings Your comment gave me this idea.

Check out Harry Benson's photo from today...great minds thinking alike! http://365project.org/hjbenson/365/2013-06-17 @hjbenson

@dreamatrix Heehee...I've been accused of worse with my sometimes warped (or juvenile) sense of humor!
June 19th, 2013  
@sugarmuser Thanks so much Sharon!
@rafaseno Aw, Rafa, we didn't really eat the star of two of my photos!
@hjbenson I think they're trying to get over to the toadstool in your photo!
@tonygig @katerinatina Thanks Tony and Katarina!
@pamknowler He is very funny -- in a dry sense of humor way. Make me laugh.
@amrita21 @aprilmilani Glad to have made you smile or laugh Amrita and April!
@genesis_one Ah--so the alien was after my mushroom?? Hadn't thought of that but will check on it. That would explain it slowly expiring!
@kwind @anazad511 @pflaume Thanks Kim, Ana, and Lisa!
June 19th, 2013  
@eyesmile Thanks! It could be edible, but the thing is, on the island, we know some can be fatal, so it's never worth the risk.
@jankoos @steampowered @paulaw Thanks Jan, Paul, and Paula for seeing and liking the silliness of the shot.
@susale @jetpics @brav Thanks Susale, Jeannette and Richard! I'm glad you liked it.
June 19th, 2013  
@rachelwithey Thank you!! Jim can be very funny -- I'll tell him you had a good laugh at his comment about photographing a chopped mushroom.
June 19th, 2013  
@ness50 Thanks Vanessa!
June 19th, 2013  
@gozoinklings Thank you for the idea Catherine!!
June 19th, 2013  
@kazlamont @stimuloog @wind_of_the_sothern_sea Thanks Kazzy, Marloes, and Arefin -- I always appreciate it when you view and comment!
@darylo Will look for some faery shots in the future!
@carolmw @38dcmoder @kimshots @happysnap @willowdragon @jo13 @kerristephens @nana2r @colie @pandora
Thank you all so much for viewing, your positive, and sometimes funny comments. It was a nice little bright spot tonite.
June 19th, 2013  
Too funny!
June 19th, 2013  
@barbsmith Thanks Barb. I hoped it would bring a smile to viewers.
June 19th, 2013  
Those are soooo cute!! I'd be buying them for my grandkids in a flash.
June 19th, 2013  
@olivetreeann Thanks Ann! The Toy Museum here has an unbelievable array of these kinds of toys for five cents through a few dollars. As well as museum quality old toys hanging from the ceiling and on display. I had fun with the grandkids picking up props while they picked out their birthday presents.
June 19th, 2013  
Glad to hear you have your priorities right, thinking props for photos before presents for grandkids. Neat shot.
June 20th, 2013  
@danielwsc Haha! Glad you think the same way -- fortunately I didn't have to fight them for any of them!
June 20th, 2013  
totally love that little alien! too cute!
June 20th, 2013  
@northy Aw thanks! Going with my grandkids gave me an excuse to buy all these dumb little things. Will be fun to play with on a rainy day (as in play with to photograph of course).
June 20th, 2013  
Very funny , very creative
