Mushroom Time



Another 2+ inches of rain today, on top of 4" last week. The wetlands are indeed wet with the crew checking the dikes for any problems. Between showers today I went looking for mushrooms. Hot, wet, and dark equal perfect mushroom weather and habitat. I'll let people smarter than me identify them, I just like to photograph them. The common white ones were developed using HDR techniques to preserve the detail in the caps.

Starry, starry night


We went looking for the aurora borealis last week and didn't see it but I decided to try some light painting while waiting. The sky was star filled otherwise completely black and quiet.
