Toadstool

We're lucky in the Northwest to have so much rainfall and generally moist weather since we get the craziest mushrooms and fungi. I've been working on a portfolio of black and white images of fungus for a while now. This image isn't included in the collection since it's a different camera (a Lomo super fisheye) but I like it so I thought I'd share.

The rains have returned

Last week we had a bit of a respite from the rain and chilly weather. Oh well, it's April so there's nothing surprising about cold, windy and rainy weather. For all the lousy weather we live with on a regular basis, Northwesterners never tire of complaining about it. We ought to find something else to kvetch about. Fortunately, the days are growing longer so that seems to make up for the periods of dreariness that come and go. Plus, the rain makes for pretty photos...
