It is upon us
or perhaps at our feet. Mushroom season of course. This year with a lot less rain, there will probably be a lot fewer 'shrooms about, but those that are are rarin' to go. I shot a few in full shade, but they are so flat and lifeless compared to this shot with the sun lighting... Continue Reading →

The health crisis I came though only had one stage of cure/recovery, but could have had two, the second of which would have totally... Continue Reading →
The Hike that Kicked My Ass

Macro photography is fascinating and tricky, but I love it.
