Bellevue Photographer | November 2012 Photo of the Month

Once a month I try to photograph something for myself, a personal project.  I started out as a nature and wildlife photographer over 20 years ago and in 2007 started my portraiture business.  I find as much as I love photographing portraits of women and children, it helps to break away every now and then get out in the solitude of nature and shoot something for myself.  These are just a few of the mushrooms I found in my yard during the month of November.

December 2010 - Photo of the Month

It's Fall and mushrooms are sprouting up everywhere!

Three days ago, I stumbled upon what I thought was a unique looking mushroom.  I hadn't seen a mushroom in MY yard with such a long stem (Image on the left is from day one.)

The next day I'd forgotten about the mushroom, was back in the equipment room, turned around and couldn't believe my eyes!  The cap of the mushroom had doubled in size!  (Image in the middle is from day two.) 

This morning, back out there again (yes, there's a never-ending list of duties to do around here ;)  This time I couldn't miss the mushroom, in less than 24-hours the cap opened up flat.  All this took place in just under 72-hours! 

I didn't see the little bug on the first day until I saw the images on the computer--a nice little bonus!
