nice to see those two standing in the middle of the woods; the first and third pictures are my favorite ones form the series: the first one because it shows the subtle beauty of the delicate yet harsh fungii; and the third one because of the same: delicate though harsh.... Greetings

Thanks Karen,what amazed me most is the place where he growed,and so strigth :-)
