A perfect autumn walk in the woods provided some stunning photography opportunities today. Next time, I plan to take a tripod as capturing all the amazing funghi in the darkness of a forest was quite a challenge.
Taking these pictures I was reminded of two very inspiring artists whose work I have come to love through flickr. Fellow Canadian, and crocheter extraordinaire Margaret Oomen (you may already know her through her blog, Resurrrection Fern) and UK land artist, Richard Shilling whose work never fails to blow me away!
In need of a bit of a challenge, I'm taking part in Poppytalk's Autumn Colour Week on flickr as of tomorrow if you feel like joining me!
Utterly exquisite. Those fungi in the uppermost picture are breathtaking. I was considering joining in the poppytalk autumn colour - my last post definitely has some orange in it for Wednesday.

Thanks Jane. You may (or not!) be interested to know that we were in Bois de Liesse this time - a perfect half way between our house and my inlaws!

That first lichen is almost rose-like in its form. Amazingly beautiful.

I love a good walk in the woods and your pictures are stunning - very autumnal I can almost smell the damp air from here.
Have a fab day,

How beautiful! I'd love to join you, but Autumn skips my little corner of California. The only way that I know that it isn't considered summer any more is when I can wear jeans instead of shorts...

Wow - I want to come and walk in your neck of the woods - what gorgeous photographs.

Whoa! Awesome. That lichen is incredible! I've also been inspired by Margaret. These shots are just beautiful and I'll be looking forward to more foresty shots from you.

Too bad Dawn. I'm not thrilled about how long the winters last here but I do love that there are distinct seasons. Except spring really...it kind of goes, winter...murky rain...summer!
