Description
Our lawn gives up its secrets at close range. We don't put anything on it to encourage grass and defeat everything else, so it's full of moss and mushrooms and a few dead leaves.
A couple weeks ago we had frost ... :)

I like an ecologically-sound lawn. I mean, what's the purpose of exhausting the soil and brewing what the Great Dust Bowl proved gets brewed when you start doing "grass only" lawns, or at least single growth ecologies? I wholly applaud mixed-growth ecologies...woodlice like 'em too, and so if they're good enough for woodlice, they're good enough for me. That's my take on it. I love the little shroom here, the frost on the blades of grass, the dead leaf. It all works together so perfectly. I like this a lot!
What an utterly charming image. At first I thought "a little pink flower" but on closer inspection I saw it for what it was. A wonderful discovery made more so because you probably had to get very close to the frozen earth to get it.
and some really cool stuff Great capture tara
It's really cool when you can capture something so simple and show it's beauty. Very cool photo.
Such a cutie! It has the appeal that all baby creatures have, even though it is a fungus: weird!
Your lawn is busy!
A good focus on this close up.
Superb capture Tara. God Bless.
Cute shroomy!
A little jewel in the cold....Beautiful capture Tara
Very nice closeup. I wish I knew how to tell the "good" mushrooms from the "bad" ones. We get a number of mushrooms in our yard too. Most are near wher there had been dead wood in the past.
OHH! How cute it is, Tara. A wonderful closeup :)
Lovely capture and composition Tara!
WOW Hun - did you lie in the frost while Mandy was doing her "thing"... LOL... Absolutely awesome!
cool
Great capture of this little shroom!
Oh God, so little adorable shroom!
Ooh, with ice crystals too! Did you get down low on your knees to get this? That's braver than me, if I got down there I'd never get up again. What a wonderful little world you've captured here!
This little mushroom is so cute. :))))) Love how the frost looks like sugar. :)))) Sugar coated mushroom. LOL!! Most excellent capture my friend. :)))) Thank you for sharing all of the beauty you see. :)))) Carry A Warm Smile In Your Heart :))))))
We needed to supply it with a little infrared heater and a pair of mittens:) Neat shot...whatever your new camera will be, a variable-angle LCD screen is a must for you.
Amazing tiny thing.
they are always there, lurking, thank goodness lovely shot
Delightful find :)
Great pic Hugs Susan
A really neat weeeee little fungus! I love the frosty coating – looks like it's coated in sugar! A very delightful shot, Tara!
This is marvelous! I love the different patterns made by the broad expanse (in this miniature world)of the leaves, and the curving lines of the grass. The adorable and bright little mushroom standing up tall (well, tallish) is a perfect focal point and the frost is beautiful. I like the texture and lines of the leaf on the top right and the way the icy grass blade shows up against it. I forgot to say in my last comment, I look forward to that coffee (though it may be tea) very much! :)
Great close up shot Tara showing how delicate frost looks that way.. Excellent detailing.. Rob
