I am so fascinated at the worm’s eye view of the world, and even on this frosty morn, lying in the mud to get down to snap these images, I feel we are all so blessed with such beauty and wonder this world offers us.

Very Nice! Amazing what we walk by every day and don’t even glance at or take time to stop and look.

Thank you, Belinda 🙂 Yes, I have been hoping to spot this fungus, one of my favourites, in my local wood, and low and behold I saw it on two separate occasions today 🙂
