Arched toadstools

Arched toadstools by algo.
My annual Toadstool ring.(Sunlight only!)

From the same shoot as -- www.flickr.com/photos/algo/18939485/
which was my most interesting photo for a couple of years, until the powers that be wiped it out.
(Now this one is No 10 in my list of 200 Most interesting photos.)

'toadstools' On Black --- But, please don't swot the fly .... as I won't take responsibility for broken screens...

Much larger than life-size.

The first photograph I saw of yours was a group of toad stools, they were fantastic and I realized what a great photographer you are, This brings me back to those first thoughts. You are a great photographer. This again is awesome the grasshopper ready to jump and the arch in the bokeh background add so much to this wonderful image.
