Default Rainy Days and More Rainy Days

It has rained, and rained, and then rained some more here for days. We have a really great crop of mud, mosquitos, and mushrooms. I guess you get to see some mushroom pics for lack of anything else. Well, I did try to shoot a mosquito but then it bit me and you know the
rest of that story. So, mushroom soup anyone?

Close up mushroom

Split down the middle

'shroom

Of course, this is not a mushroom, just so you know. This tree grows through the fence line and with all the rain all kinds of things are growing out of the knot in the side of it. I just liked this shot. If you look at it in the bigger size you can see how everything is covered still in rain---

Thru the fence

Enjoy while I go and dry off.

Shirley, it's been raining a lot here too. Definitely cramps my photographice style! I like the pattern and textures in your mushroom shots, and I'll have a bowl of that soup. Just the right thing on a rainy day.

And here I thought we were the only ones getting the endless rain! I think it's rained every day for the last 2 weeks. These are great shots. Hope you start to dry out...
