Daniel McRae took this picture in the Fall of 2007, near his family's beautiful home in the hills of Tennessee. He presented this image in a nature photography contest and won! I include it on this blog because it epitomizes the fun of macro photography, and I was with him when he took the picture. Who would have guessed that these little mushrooms would be so interesting. We walk right by, looking at them from 5+ ft. above and never see the interesting details that this macro image brings out: the transition in the colors of the tops of the mushrooms, the contrast with the green moss, the glossy wet look, the drop hanging down, and more. These mushrooms are growing from a moss covered log in a shaded gully down from the road to the McRae's home.The event of our trip to Tennessee was Thanksgiving. And a glorious one it was. Mom and Dad flew into Nashville to join us there. It was a great weekend of fun games, wonderful food and delightful company. We always come away from the McRae's much rejuvinated.
