Okay, not really. But every time I look at this photograph it evokes images of a mysterious deep sea creature gliding over the ocean floor, illuminated by a lone diver’s torch. That may be my creative side trying to emerge – or perhaps just my delusional side. But either way, this is one of my favorite photographs, and one of the very first I took with my first digital camera on a camping trip, almost a decade ago.

On the other hand, this one was taken yesterday in my garden.  It is illuminated by the setting sun, and looks like a miniature stairway to … I have no idea where.

I am continually amazed at the diversity of mushrooms. This is just a tiny sampling.
