So, stroll with me in an imaginary forest glade. Maybe, just maybe, the next time you take a walk in the woods you will look for them like I do.
I have not tried to identify each because I am a novice and do not want to be in error. If there is anyone who would like to aid in the identifications, I would certainly appreciate it and give full credit to them.
I have taken the liberty here, to include mushrooms, lichen and moss in this category. I find these life forms fascinating. So often, we walk in the woods and never see their beauty. Often they are small or hidden away among the leaves. At first I was surprised as I prepared the higher resolution pictures to find that a black background was perfect. Then I remembered the places that I had found them and realized that black was the ideal setting.
