A Mushroom by Any Other Name

With so much rain the last few days, mushrooms are cropping up in the yard. Their cute little umbrella tops sticking up out of the green of the grass are hard for a photographer’s eye to resist. So of course, I indulged–even laying down on the ground to get a good angle.

I actually had two mushrooms to choose from during this shoot, but unfortunately during my setup, my dog (who can’t see very well these days) stumbled over the very one I wanted to capture and smashed it to smithereens. Oh well. At least I rescued the other before she could ruin my opportunity!
