This little discovery made me smile, so I hope it does that for you too. On a recent walk with scruffbag I came across a field filled with mushrooms. They hadn't been there the day before but suddenly, as if by magic they had appeared overnight. Glistening little white domes, littering the field as if sprinkled on from on high.
For some reason mushrooms alwasy make me smile, they seem such improbable things that don't quite look real. I suppose I remember them from kids cartoons, the Magic Roundabout and Chorlton and the Wheelies spring to mind. (I never bought into the toadies being evil in Chorlton by the way, always thought they were being manipulated by that witchy Fenella). Well anyway, I suppose for that reason they make me smile.
Mushrooms of course are rather lovely to eat too, big juicy portobello ones with garlic and butter and parsley. Or tiny button ones just fried in butterall dripping juices over buttery toast. Yummy. Far too risky to try eating these of course, good heavens knows whether they're the edible sort or the type which may have effects on me which whilst I'm sure would be pleasant may cause the neighbours to talk (and we can't have that now can we!).
Of course I had to scamper off (slightly confused scruffbag in tow to get the camera) and then (much to aforementioned dog's bemusement) happily snapping away lying in the mud.
So here they are, a little selection of my mushroom snaps. I hope they make you smile too x

Experimenting with colour saturation for a spacey effect :-)Aaah mushrooms, easily pleased me!
