Kingston Brewing Company 05642 copy.jpg

Kingston, Ontario, Canada, a UNESCO World Heritage Destination

Vern's Puffball. (Calvatia gigantea). I was using the banquet room at KBC as a studio for a fashion shoot and Van Turner, one of the owners, pointed out that Vern had found a couple of puffballs and there was probably a photo op. Oh yeah!

Now that's a puff ball. From the expression you can tell that it's a good one, but no it's a gigantic mushroom. I would love to see what Vern did with it. Excellent shot for the challenge. "V"
