1 picture above in a note!

I am very blessed to have what I call "micro-vision". I can see things extremely close-up and tiny, tiny things are very clear. Unfortunately, I'm also blind as a bat and must wear glasses all the time. To me, having this special vision is very special and wonderful because I am so crazy about macro!

Today I was looking under logs and peering about 1-2" from the ground, where I could study everything at a macro scale with my incredible close vision. As I stared, I spotted something and looked again. It took me another 20 seconds to find the spot again, because everything I was looking at was extremely small. THERE! NO WAY...it was just what I thought. 3 itty bitty, tiny little mushrooms, just beginning to sprout!! They were sitting on a corner of a decayed leaf, so small that you could barely see the piece of leaf, let alone the trio of mushrooms!

WHAT A PRIZE!!!! I went to pick the piece of leaf up and knocked a leaf on top of them...and it took me another few minutes to find them under the leaf! Just as I was about to give up, I tried another leaf piece and THERE THEY WERE! Carefully I picked the leaf fragment up and set it on top of a piece of bark. I got several pictures and then it dawned on me: nobody would be able to understand how tiny these cutie pies were unless I showed one of my fingers next to them! So I held them up and we all said cheese together as I took the picture! :D You'll see that as an inset above or just click to the next picture! :)
