March 14th - Discovery



The coast walk from Bundeena in the Royal National Park is a spectacular one, with massive coastal cliffs of honey coloured sandstone, heathlands with hundreds of birds and the occasional unexpected discovery such as these little groups of mushrooms, pushing up from the sand. It was raining during the walk and when I downloaded the photos, I discovered a reflection of the photographer in one group of mushrooms - hmmm...

  1. Don't think I've ever seen mushrooms growing along the coast before. An interesting find. I especially like the way you composed the top image and the bits of sand clinging to the cap.

    Might have missed you in the second if you didn't call our attention to it...fun!

  4. It almost looks like you used selective coloring in these images, but I have a feeling those are the natural colors! Very nice work!

  5. Those ruddy brown caps stand out so well against the monochromatic background.
