I don't remember seeing these fungi growing in my yard before. I've no idea what they are, either. They surprised me because of their hiding place behind a trunk of a tree which was cut down two years ago, due to a pest called southern pine beetles, and their destruction of the tree. The fungi remind me of marshmallows cooked over a camping fire.
Got up this morning in a playful mood (I love being retired) and was definitely thinking "out of the box" - picked up the Nikon and put on the 10-24, which I haven't done in a while. Sipped some coffee.
The light streaming through the windows invigorates. The sun was shining brilliantly, although the air was heavy with humidity, but it wasn't raining (yay) and the sky was void of cloud cover (rare the past month).
Shooting with a wide angle is fun! Hit the inside of the house first and then went outdoors, but those shots can wait for another day.
I kept the fun going with Photoshop... Five For Fun.

Post processing was done the same on all images. Each is as framed and reduced to 180dpi from 300. No other images or color were added. Toning, saturation and filters were all used in the same order for each photo. Spot saturation and toning on each for finished results.

A fun, post-processing edit on this image from Columbus Circle in New York, January 2009.
I remember we had a very welcome hot drink here at 'The Shops' after walking in the cold for hours. And while resting, we enjoyed watching the dynamic and eye-catching changing colours on this light installation.
The Shops is housed within the Time Warner Center (now the Deutsche Bank Center) which is a soaring 2.8 million-square-foot landmark with stunning views of Central Park. It opened in 2003.
Outside in the background, is Edward Durell Stone's 1964 building for A & P heir Huntington Hartford. The facade seen is a modern addition and a controversial one.

Thank you so much for your faves and comment. Invitations and awards are welcome. No glitter images please. Have a nice day :)
Yesterday, Brad ordered a dSLR camera [Canon 450D] for me. I'm not sure when it will arrive. Today, whenever I thought about it, I feel thrilled - like a kid, waiting for Christmas: I can't really imagine what it will be like - I'm nervous and so excited!
Hope everyone's enjoying the weekend.
Happy Purple Saturday!

The natural path along the way to the falls. This is perhaps one of the only spots without blooming flowers.
