It has been an amazing season for mushrooms--
I can't seem to go out without seeing more of them.
In this one, if you look closely, you will see
branches of trees and a blob that is me!
Weekend Reflections
Credit Where It is Due
I like to make photographs, and I enjoy being praised for what I have done. But God teaches a different attitude, one of thankfulness and humility. He pointed that out to me recently. I DO NOT MAKE THESE PHOTOGRAPHS ALONE. I didn't create the light, or the technology which makes photography possible. I didn't buy my camera, it was a gift from my husband. I didn't give myself the ability to see through the camera in order to make an image which others find pleasing. It is right to use what I have been given to the best of my ability, but it is wrong to take credit for what I have not done. God made the light, the elements which are used to manufacture the camera, and the world from which these images come. He has given me gifts: people to teach me, eyes to see with, and a brain to process information. I am thankful for these gifts. He deserves all the praise, not I.

I see you, and the branches, in gray, and I also see a pretty flower in white near the upper right. A beautiful picture.
What a terrific reflection and so different, I love it! Hope you have a great weekend! Enjoy!

Even though they may grow in shadow, rising up to the light.
Please have a good start into the weekend.

Did you eat it ?
Very nice additions to a beautiful mushroom!
I love autumn, - its beauty is so subtle and your mushroom is quite elegant.
Those green eyes blinking at me off to the side are perfect for the season.
A very reflective mushroom. You musty have had a wet season.
So much better than both of my reflections! Have a grand weekend!
I don't think I've ever seen such an amazing close-up of a mushroom!
beautiful :)
This mushroom is so cute ! and the water reflection on it is so prestty... I hope you didn't eat it, anyway...
Interesting that it can be so shiny that if shows a reflection . . . I don't find many mushrooms to photograph.
Who'd a thunk it? a reflection in a mushroom! You win the prize for originality!
I reconize here a a russula (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russula), but it is too old to be sure if it is eatable or not, so I won't recommand to try it...
;)
I do not think that I have ever seen a pink shiny 'shroom, but you certainly have. I'm glad to know that you did not eat it.
Wonderful reflection with a unique reflector!
I like to look beautiful mushrooms but I don't eat them :) This looks great with the reflection...
Have a good week ahead!
You have a good eye, Dimple for such things and a great capture!
Glad you stopped by Dimple. Your mushroom is neat but yucky to eat. I went out with color film in my camera the other day. Took a few shots but the light was in and out. Shot a few more of the grandkids dressed in their costumes and still have a few left for one more excursion this week.
