If I want to make sure that I find mushrooms on our property, I head down to our moss-covered granite rocks which are drenched with water flowing from the hill above. Looking carefully and watching where I put my feet, it doesn't take long before I've found one! Right now there are lots of them popping up here and there all over, so there's no end to the photo ops! However, the other day I was nose-close to the moss, peering closely to look for interesting shapes or something new. Then, out of the corner of my eye I noticed a very tiny brown spot amid a bunch of moss. To my surprise, it was a brand new mushroom, only 1/8" in diameter, and trying very hard to grow taller than the moss around it! I love this picture so much, and I hope you like this cute little guy as much as I do!! :D

I've uploaded two other pictures today and I hope you'll visit them too!

Thanks to all of you who have visited and have left comments and favorites! I try to go to all of your pages within a day or two and is a highlight for me to see your beautiful photography! :)

NOTE! I have finally updated my profile and I hope you'll take a look to find out a little more about me and how important all of you are to my experience here on Flickr!
