umbrellas growing in my yard

[Joey the girl]

Some mushrooms managed to sneak their way into my yard. While the gardening/yard-work side of me was aggravated, the photography side of me was delighted. Guess which side won?

Here's the first little umbrella like mushroom I took a picture of.



Now let me introduce you to the mushroom's neighbors, the dandelion and the rose- isn't it kind of amazing how many different things can grow so close together?

The mushroom looks like something out of honey i shrunk the kids...id be tempted to put some little people around the bottom...but seriously great lighting and great angle.
nice set of photos.

Who wants to tend to the yard? I'm glad your photography side wond out. I like the light filtering through the top of the mushroom. Great perspective on the dandelion and the rose.

I had to blow on about 72 dandelions to get a shot like that, but even I was surprised how nice it turned out.

Joey these are good, excellent detail in all three pictures. Unfair to pick a favourite but it's the first one for me. I love the colour, light, shade and fantastic detail, good job

Wow! The mushroom shot is fantastic! The detail and sharpness is amazing. I like the other two shots as well but I keep going back and looking at the mushroom. Nice work!
