[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Hello Everyone,

Well here in Northern England the summer is definitely over! Autumn has put on her brown and orange mantle and changing the face of nature!

I am posting a photograph that I took on the footpath near my house. A lot of tree bark had been scattered on the footpath; leaves had joined them and this must have created the ideal conditions for fungii!
Two days earlier ther had been nothing there! Suddenly the path was littered with clumps of toadstools. Isn't it amazing how the death of one thing causes the rebirth of something else!
This doesn't show many of them but looked very artistic to me! I will post more of them later!

Thank you for visiting my site and sharing a little section of the footpath! Please feel free to offer feedback on any aspect of the photograph.

The light was quite poor, just beginning to drizzle.

Hello Beverley,
Yeah, you'll have to lie down flat on the ground and you'll get some super shots of all the fungi!! The closer you look the more beautiful the trivial details seem to become.
A fine autumnal composition!
TFS and regards, Ulla

How true you title Beverley! This is such a good lesson in life, death and cycles. The leafs have given their color and now pass on to enrich the soil. Meanwhile certain fungi grow in the lack of light and pop thru to give off their special glow. A wonderful lesson in nature...so basic yet most forget. How precious life is yes? Yet how one who has made us, also teaches us. Today I have learned something. Perhaps I should be paying closer attention to my deep English roots!

Hi Beverly,
lovely details and earthy tones with a nice mix of textures too.
Summer returned briefly to the south coast yesterday but has now dissappeared again...

Hello Beverley ! What a great 'nature morte' (no pun...) ;-) It's a well composed scene with great technical qualities. Well seen and well done !

Hello my friend,
I like the composition and the quality of the details; I only found the colors too much near to the same shade, it gives less depth to the image. Maybe a bit more of contrast? I will try to explain with a WS.
Have a nice evening,
Violetta

Hello Beverley,
Good autumn mood here!
Dead leaves and mushroom, what is more autumn like...
Good details in the close-up, well framed with the colours of the season!
Greetings,

Hello Beverley!
This is another great presentation from you, especially the colours are amazing as for me. Different tones of brown make here a lovely, very natural composition - as you noted - both with death and life :)
Thank you for showing this image and my best regards,
Radomir

Hi Beverley!

While I was surfing through the galleries and looking for leaf-pictures, I found yours, too. I like it very much, especially for the unity of the color tones. I also appreciate the notes that accompany the picture very well.

Kind regards

Markus
