Lisa and I went to Thorndon Country Park to take photos with the toadstool beret for the Tiny Toadstool Project created by the wonderful Shan Shan!

Toadstool

Toadstools outside of Page, Arizona. Very unusual balance for the boulder on the right as there is no tangency with its companion on the left. While the color image came out perfectly with hardly any post processing adjustments, I preferred this B&W interpretation.

The light frost on these toadstools looks like a sprinkle of sugar on top.

Welcome to Toadstool Cottage!

Pull up a mushroom cap and have a cup of tea with the resident fairy (handmade by Dannielle at Princess NImble Thimble).

Measuring roughly 10 x 12 " at the base, this cozy home made in the hollowed out stump of a tree, with a flagstone path and plenty of toadstools and wildflowers is made completely of wool through needlefelting.

My creations for the toadstool swap. I made a big yo-yo for the top and, as my partner Lindsey pointed out, a hula skirt-like tuft of grass on the bottom to make sure it would stand up. I felt like my toadie was sort of lame compared to the one I received (yes, I was late sending mine!) so I made a little doll quilt for one of Lindsey's silly girls.

Toadstool Geologic Park, near Crawford, Nebraska.

One of the "toadstools" at the Toadstool State Geologic Park in northwest Nebraska. Beautiful day for taking pictures!

not too bad considering taken on my phone

... or mushrooms? I didn't eat any, just in case.

This is the oldest photo in my photostream that was actually taken by me (with Kiev 4A, '78), in summer 2000 or 2001. I love heather, maybe partly because it's so frequently mentioned in Tolkien's work. He used to be my hero back in the days when I was about 15. Speaking about heather and Tolkien, I'll probably never forget this one from "The Hobbit" (I think that's the only one I still know by heart):

sing all ye joyful, now sing all together!

the wind's in the tree-top, the wind's in the heather;

the stars are in blossom, the moon is in flower,

and bright are the windows of night in her tower.

Fungi erupt under an overhanging shrub.

Sorry, don't know what kind they are. Any experts out there?

Came across this group of toad stools one day while walking in the woods. Just so everyone knows I did not place them this way, it's just the way I found them.
