Follow The Leader

[Julie Kenward]

Here's another of my mushroom images from earlier this week. I liked the way they all seemed to be following the leaf across the surface of the log.

Daylight White Balance, Center-weighted metering

Nicely composed Julie, you know; for a second there I thought they were brown eggs...I like the transition from the mushrooms to the brown leaf...good show...:cool:

I was thinking the same thing as gus :-)

Nice composition. Judging by the small holes in a few it looks like an animal was tasting them. Some puffball sp can get as big or bigger than bowling balls and they are eaten in some places before they go to spore of course.

Hey Julie, interesting shot, well done.

[Julie Kenward]

They do kind of look like brown eggs, don't they? Crack me up!
