There are a bunch of these guys growing under some spruce trees that divide our lot from our neighbors. Not much (if any) sunlight hits this area. It has been so damp lately with all the rain that they are thriving.

I had to get way down on the ground for this shot. At this angle, there is no viewfinder and Liveview was of limited use so I basically shot a bunch and hoped it was in focus. I was able to set the [off camera] flash directly onto the ground (I should check it for bugs now).

We are heading out on a road trip vacation either tomorrow or the next day (depending on traffic). I hope to keep posting, but might slip a few days based on WIFI and level of energy at the end of each day. I will definitely keep the PaD going albeit a bit slow to post.
