Life Down Low

I almost walked right past this fascinating specimen, but something about the texture caught my eye. I love getting right down into the grass for shots like this; the low angle completely transforms the scene, turning a small mushroom into a towering structure. What really drew me in was the contrast between the rugged, weathered edges of the cap and the soft, dreamy bokeh of the trees in the background. It’s amazing how much detail exists right under our feet if we just stop to look closer.
