Walking through the grounds at Welford Park, this fungus was growing on a downed tree trunk. It looked like some sort of futuristic city to me, and I got a few quick shots before we moved on. I wonder what life there is within the structures. Maybe it really is a city – just for some very small life forms.
Ever since I have had cameras with flip out screens, I have been far more likely to get down to the right level for a photo. Lying on the ground was something I would only do in the right circumstances. Walking through the arboretum with Nancy is not the right time to get grubby doing that. However, now I can let the camera be low down and check the shots from a slightly more comfortable height. This was the right thing to do when I was taking some shots of some mushrooms. You get a totally different perspective from ground level!
