beauty
Posted by Bron (Canberra, Australia) on 23 August 2007 in Plant & Nature and Portfolio.
In autumn I wander the land, eyes peeled for fungi. They're everwhere - even in the deepest caves where nothing else lives. Their forms, colours, details and diversity makes them fine subjects! Today and tomorrow, enjoy 2 which are very different, both beautiful! :)
@Lorraine: LOL! More likely sick I fear Lorraine!
@Double KK Photography: Thanks Double KK!
@jump: Thanks jump I really like photographing fungi! (I like the way they sit still haha)
@DaveB: Thanks Dave! :)

It reminds me of "Alice in Wonderland" with the caterpillar on the mushroom smoking.
Very cool closeup. :)

You've highlighted the beauty of mushrooms! This brings back memories of a Disney cartoon musical that had mushrooms made to look like Chinese mandarins of old.

I must agree :) - you have caught both our imaginations!
