I found this little mushroom while walking in the park near where Jon has his violin/viola lessons. The park isn't very big and there is not much to see, but sometimes I get lucky and will find something interesting. I liked the detail in this little mushroom. I had never really looked that closely at mushrooms and other fungi until I started getting back into photography. This was not shot with my macro lens although the lens I used has a "macro" range.

This is really a wonderful image. Your perspective down low is very striking. I particularly like your composition on this image.
