Jim that woman has far more creative vision than I could hope for. After I studied it for a minute I realized what she was doing and I never would have thought of stacking mushrooms for effect. Funny trav should mention rice farmer hats because that's kind of what I was thinking at first. These two are big but the biggest one (about 5 inches diameter) was a single and I didn't think it looked as interesting as the twins.

We just got another 3 inches of rain overnight so after the sun starts to shine they may be back. Paul

They almost look like sentient characters....with stylized rice farmer's hats. Great detail will lend itself to differing interpretations...like a Rorschach test maybe. Traveller

Thanks for the kind words, about 8 to 10 of them popped up in my yard a few days back, two others can be seen in the background. I've been too busy to try and shoot them and since they were between the sidewalk and the street I was certain they would get knocked down before I got the chance to shoot them. Paul

This is really good. I did something like this many years ago with a G2- but not anywhere as good as this.
