Sibs

Thanks to our friend and photographer, Barry Moses for tolerating all of our sillyness during this photo shoot at our local private university ~ Whitworth. These pictures were taken during Matthew's post army visit in Spokane. We had a lot of fun even though it was kind of thrown together at the last minute. Thanks to my kids too for tolerating all of the "creativity."

Micro-Scapes: Mushrooms

Mushrooms were a curiosity during a recent visit to Priest Lake. We were there for a women's rereat, but during a lag time, I was to be found on my belly under a tree taking pictures of these tiny "forrests." What a great time I had getting these pictures and learning about my Sony CyberShot at the same time. This first picture is my personal favorite!
A cluster of mushrooms.

Upon reflecting with my photography friend, I would have moved the grass out the way before shooting this one.

I never thought I could shoot into the sun, but this picture proves that I was wrong about that.

I love the texture of the pine needles on the ground juxtaposed to the texture on the underside of the mushroom!
