The sunrise and some tea

I sat on the back deck this morning drinking some Irish Breakfast Tea and watching the sun rise. The last few mornings I have seen some very colorful ones. The weather conditions will remain the same for the next few days. So maybe I will find somewhere close with fewer obstructins or more interesting obstructins.

Fungus Aumgus

Here are some assorted fungi I have photohraped this summer.

The first photo with the mushrooms on the trees also had a couple of large slugs crawling on them. I tried photographing them. But since it was a gloomy day I need a slow shutter speed to compensate for the high f-stop I needed to increase the depth of field to get the tree bark and the mushrooms in focus. The slugs were moving to fast for the slow shutter speed.

Had it thought of it then I might have slowed the shutter speed even more to get a more pronounced blurring. It would have made the slug look like it was moving real fast. Contrary it's nature. I like contrariness.
