For Looking close... on Friday#Mushrooms, Meadow mushroom (Agaricus campestris) edible mushroom growing in a meadow.
This is my glass dome filled with red and gold baubles and swathed with red shimmering organza. The dome was used in my photo a couple of days ago.
I popped the star drop in disc into Lensbaby double glass II added a couple of macro filters and deliberately blurred the image.

Apparently I did something right with this rose in my garden.
it is the second time it's blooming this year. although temperatures are already very fall-like.

Mushroom season is in full swing. This one I photographed on our hike around Bench Tor in Dartmoor National Park.
I often image filamentous parasitic fungi at work using electron microscopes so it is refreshing to photograph some other types of fungi on a larger scale (still macro though ;-) )
Fun mushroom facts:
- Over 80% of all terrestrial plant species have a symbiotic relationship with a fungal mycelium.
-Fungi are more closely related to humans than to plants
-In the Middle Ages people thought mushrooms grew at night on the soil where witches had had a sabbath.
Not a day for drying - while not quite officially winter it was just hours away from the first snow fall for the year.
It had already squeaked out a few tiny snow flakes, and I'd spent the afternoon excitedly bouncing around outside willing it to snow properly, and taking photos of everything. And freezing!
"Please hold" is for (1) the visually obvious - the pegs, and purpose of the clothes line, and (2) nature making me wait for the real snowfall ;-)
After almost a week of warm days, rains with petrichor scent, and waking blossoms, tonight the temperature is close to 0 °C and it is snowing again. And I am going through last year's pictures, eager for a new spring to photograph.
These fruit trees only bloom for a short period of time, so I'm out and about taking advantage of the photo opportunities.
The dark area on the right is the tree trunk of this old and a bit tired tree. In the summer I stop by and pick apricots of the branches that overhang the fence.
Two years ago to the day I was photographing these trees swarming with Painted Lady butterflies, today there wasn't a single pollinator in sight.
I hope there will be some insects while I'm not looking, otherwise it will be hard to pick fruit later in the year.

October 2023: A month in 31 pictures
My friend popped over with Hugh, one of her dogs. I tried to get a quick shot of him, he was looking at his mum for treats though. The background isn't great and I tried to change it but it was my first attempt and it looked too artificial. This is all I got today and I haven't got the energy to start again.
I was lucky to spot this tiny caterpillar busy munching on grass seeds :)
Can anyone else see a man's face with a goatee...or is it just me?! 😂
