The weather was frightful

Actually it was pretty cool. During last nights thunderstorm/tornado warning I took a few lighting shots.

 

 

 

 

 

2016 Mushrooms and fungi, part 1

It seems like all I have photographed this summer is assorted mushrooms and fungi. I had hoped to have other subjects to post too. But this is what I mostly have some the next few posts will be lots of mushrooms. I will throw in the ocassional miscellanea now and then too.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Tulip Poplar Flower

I really like how this photo came out. I think it is in the top 5 of my best photo's.

 

 

 

 

Some kinda bug

I recently came across three Giant Ichneumons insects, a large wasp species laying eggs on an old log. The whip like tails are about six inches long. They use them to lay eggs in holes that other insects have laid their eggs. They totally ignored me.

My favorite subject has returned!

It's been warm enough for the mushroom to start growing again. I am sure there will be more photo's to come.
