There's probably always something new to see, if you take the time to look around!<br /><br />Jeanne ~ Thank you! :) Yeah, mushrooms are fun. There are so many different varieties to look for. Cool! I'm starting to think that I'm far from alone in spotting that skull. I didn't see the face in the tree, but someone else emailed me about it too! I now see the eyes, nose and smiley mouth above the dripping. It's pretty happy looking!

So his dancing mushroom painting was my inspiration for adding that video clip. :)<br /><br />I think I've heard of Runescape, but I had to google it to be sure of what it is. I'm probably the last person in the world to find out. :) Nice web site for the game anyway! Hmm... So maybe the next time I see a fairy ring, I should jump in the middle of it and see what happens!<br /><br />Thanks. :) I was really happy with these photos. I'm surprised they turned out, because it was quite a process taking them. I was trying to stay balanced on a rotting log and not touch any weird plants, insects, or the mushrooms themselves. You never know what might bite you or leave a rash! For all I know, some of these mushrooms might be poisonous. I like to get up close and personal with my photos. Sometimes, I see details in the pictures that I never saw in real life. My own eyes aren't capable of seeing the tiny hairs on a tomato for instance.<br /><br />Yeah, I half expected some of these mushrooms and beechnut shells to start talking. :)Justine’s Halloweenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04036212957533234176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8795347148428519606.post-61658968109751104162012-09-25T07:54:19.456-05:002012-09-25T07:54:19.456-05:00Awwww!

So cute!<br /><br />I remember during my crazy Runescape obsession, there was fairy rings which you walked into and teleported away to a different location :D haha!<br /><br />Those pictures you took look so professional! All the different angles you created are great, you definitely got up close and personal!<br /><br />I thought of a grinning mouth full of sharp teeth when I saw the 5th picture down too and the little shop of horrors sprung to mind also! :D ~♥~GhostlyGardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06082672042134194651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8795347148428519606.post-15467384274683429142012-09-22T20:02:06.292-05:002012-09-22T20:02:06.292-05:00Dr. Theda ~ I like the grinning mushroom too, even...Dr. Theda ~ I like the grinning mushroom too, even though he looks a little menacing. :)Justine’s Halloweenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04036212957533234176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8795347148428519606.post-22301283867113595392012-09-22T13:37:30.865-05:002012-09-22T13:37:30.865-05:00I like the "grinning" mushroom...I like the "grinning" mushroom...Dr. Thedahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16437013120611829846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8795347148428519606.post-4277006732624444842012-09-22T13:18:35.766-05:002012-09-22T13:18:35.766-05:00Magikalseasons ~ Thanks! :) I suspected you were a...Magikalseasons ~ Thanks! :) I suspected you were a mushroom lover from seeing your profile pic and your creations!

I'm not sure if I've ever seen a yellow mushroom before. <br /><br />What a funny idea! I know I'd get a smile out of finding a googly-eyed mushroom in the middle of the woods. :) Sometimes I've been out for a walk in nature and run across a little piece of nature art. I'm remembering a time when I found rock sculptures (made from piled rocks) lining a river. It would be a lot of fun to run across a fairy door without expecting to see one. I know some people make those lovely little doors and leave them next to public buildings or trees as a surprise for passersby.<br /><br />Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed this one. :)Justine’s Halloweenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04036212957533234176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8795347148428519606.post-81227382186918035792012-09-21T13:30:52.611-05:002012-09-21T13:30:52.611-05:00I LOVE photographing mushrooms!

I actually took some shots of pretty yellow ones the other day ;) And you're right, it's always a precarious process! lol But you got some beautiful shots!<br />You should totally bring some googley eyes with you next time and randomly leave them on mushrooms. ;) Imagine other hiker's surprise upon seeing them :) Great post, as always ;)Countess VonRauber (Heidi)https://www.blogger.com/profile/05880428613360138677noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8795347148428519606.post-19908483835278460422012-09-21T11:30:04.541-05:002012-09-21T11:30:04.541-05:00Little Gothic Horrors ~ Thanks! :) So, I'm not...Little Gothic Horrors ~ Thanks! :) So, I'm not the only one who sees that skull.

I've had this one forever. It's a Canon PowerShot SD600. It works nicely for those up-close detail shots, but the light has to be just right. Low light and scenes at dusk are tricky with this camera. I have to work hard to get a non-fuzzy shot at those times. Otherwise, it has worked well for me!
