Yesterday’s image was the inside of the wheel barrow I had been photographing outside of one of the local feed and seed shops when some of the customers “told on me,” and the owner came out to see what was up. This was one of the bolts inside that held the container part to the wheels part. How’s that for shop talk? I think I’ll stick to photography.
Back to the school work today after four weeks off. I was getting lesson plans ready up to the last minute on Friday. Didn’t get nearly anything accomplished over the four weeks off that I had planned to. I think I need four more weeks…Oh well, I’ll get the girls settled into their schedules this week, and then I’ll start in with the boys next week.
I took this shot back in June. I have never noticed so many different varieties of mushrooms growing around our place as I have this year. This one is one of my favorites because of its little bumps, most of mushrooms I see are smooth. This one has character.

It really does have character! A great shot Micki.
Another fantastic macro monday...8.25/10..good stuff

I don't like eating them, but I really do like looking at them. Cool capture of this little guy.
Good luck with getting the lesson plans ready.
I love mushroom shots. They all look so different. Wow! Your four weeks flew by. Our last seven weeks did too. One more week to go for my little guy and back to school for him. You seemed to have stumped everyone on yesterdays post. That was a hard one:)
ñam! ñam!! Great macro :D
Great framing. Really, really nice.
Nice macro. The DoF helps set off the shroom.
Lovely shot Micki, nice details!
Superb!
A nice baby mushroom. fine detaitls... It seems so frail!
OH I love finds like this! Very cool!
I once found a Mushroom that looked like a basket ball!
Love this macro, interesting detail.
A sure sign of the coming autumn and all the interest and colour that season provides. Nice shot.
Funny little mushroom, definitely has character. Very nice shot.
Superb composition Micki. I actually have spotted a couple of these in my drive way. You've inspired me to give shotting mushrooms a try! : )
Munch...yum...whoa...thud.
Micki. Great shot. I like the lighting on this one as well as the composition.
Nice shot, Micki. It looks like a ice candy :)
A beautiful find in a charming little setting. The colors in this pic are so natural I can near smell the damp earth. Good ol’Fuji HQ and your sharp eye.
Micki, you stumped everyone with yesterday's post! I looked at that thing so many times, turned it this way and that, but didn't have clue as to what it was.
Now, as for school, you only give your kids a short break! 4 weeks! Must be that year-round school. I would suppose that they get more breaks throughout the year. Kudos to you for home schooling. It sounds like a lot of work.
Nice 'shroom, or more than likely around your house it's a toad stool. You need a lot of those to seat all of your daughter's guests. :-)
A great Macro Nature shot the mushroom certainly stands out from the crowd. I have not seen one like this before a cool shot
They say a picture's worth a thousand words, but what about aroma? I can imagine the smell of moist, mushroom-laden soil the very instant I see this image.
Beautiful little mushroom!
Your macros are amazing! This mushroom does, as you say, have character. Love it.
I always call them Selectric mushrooms for those of us from the typewritter days :-)
Nice macro.. The DOF is excellent
