Backyard Wild Mushrooms

Under the pine trees on the right side of the yard my wife Lynette pointed out these mushrooms growing.  I went back inside for my camera. I like the way the stem seems to glow. These look like they belong in some science fiction movie.  I think they are unopened mushrooms, not some other type of mushroom. I wonder what the marks on top are. Looks like something took a bite out of this one.  I hope it's not poisonous.

Free On-Line Photo Editor: FotoFlexer

Here is the link: FotoFlexer - The world's most advanced online photo editor I thought you might like to know about it.  It must be free because of the advertisements, just like on TV. These are a few effects: The layout: This time I used it to make some simple variations on a photo I took from the roof of my brother's home. You can do much more.  It's free.  You can join and sign in if you want but you don't have to.  I did not. Original This has an old look to it. There's too much color here, like a cartoon drawing. These two are also cartoon-like. This is a good old sepia tone.  This one looks like a hand drawing to me. This "hand drawing" has more color, isn't as nice for me.

A "Practical" Solution

This photo was taken from behind my local Post Office. I wonder how much thought went into designing this reinforcement for the steps.

Listen to the Rain

Try full screen with sound up. Listen to the pouring rain Listen to it pour, And with every drop of rain You know I love you more Let it rain all night long, Let my love for you go strong, As long as we're together Who cares about the weather? Listen to the falling rain, Listen to it fall, And with every drop of rain, I can hear you call, Call my name right out loud, I can here above the clouds And I'm here among the puddles, You and I together huddle. Listen to the falling rain, Listen to it fall. Rain Ann Murray
