beauties of the forest floor
mysterious gems that i adore
beckon to me to explore ever more
I find you cuddled in tiny moss
wet and shiny to the eyes and touch
colors that shimmer in gentle light
texture and caps that inspire delight

an autumn flower
dressed in raindrops
there are not many flowers around
with our cold nights and not as many sunny days

Surely someone got the inspiration for Victorian lampshades from that first mushroom,Aren't fungi just the wonders of the autumn woodland floor with the drenched harebell as a pure blue gem.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous.
Tammie, as always, your wild mushrooms are so beautiful, I cannot believe the vivid colors, the shine on them, the green surroundings, I don't think I've ever seen such stunning ones, thank you for sharing them with us!
ReplyDeleteLovely images, the mushrooms look beautiful!
ReplyDeleteA wondrous collection of wild fungi from the forest floor. You have a rare gift for discovering these rare treasures, and capturing beautiful images to share with us. Beautiful close-ups.
ReplyDeleteYou should chase down a publisher, and investigate a book on these discoveries. Your posts are always that good.
Nicely done, Tammie.
Some of these forest inhabitants look like extraterrestrials (photos 1 and 3).:) I adore the natural contrast of the "thick" and bright green background!
ReplyDeleteI'm so eager to see your next post of shared beauty, Tammie!:)
Oh, I agree with Rick - a book with your gorgeous photos would be a real treasure!:))))))))

ReplyDeleteA sweet little poem to accompany your lovely mushroom captures and ending up with my favourite wild flower: the delicate harebell in her glistening robe!

Ohhhh the colors of the forest floor. I adore them!!
ReplyDeleteSome wonderful pictures Tammie. It's mushroom season over here too. They are beautiful, but I've just recently read that the increase in people foraging for edible mushrooms has led to more poisoning.
ReplyDeleteWonderful to look at and photograph, but be careful out there folks, if you aren't sure, just dont.
I am in 'awe' of your forest floor images! They are so rich and colourful! Your mysterious gems look like snowflakes ... something that I am not quite sure I am ready for! Have a fantastic week Tammie! :)
