Fungus Fruit

Filed Under Fall 2009, Macro

Mushrooms are the fruiting bodies of fungi. After an exceptionally dry summer, we had a little rain about a week ago and this clump of mushrooms grew rapidly at the base of an oak tree, spanning onto a dead, rotting branch lying on the forest floor. While they help break down organic matter and produce rich soil, I just think they make an interesting and beautiful photographic subject.

Igor Waves

Filed Under Summer 2010, Waves

Waves from Hurricane Igor broke on the Delaware shore today. While one surfer blasts through the lip of a wave, a younger one watches, perhaps with envy.

Summer is coming to a close soon, but people are still enjoying great weather at the Delaware coast. A fishing pier in Lewes was a popular spot tonight at sunset.

These Pennsylvania Leather-wings were out enjoying sunset on Autumn Mistflowers the other night. I liked the color combination.
