We've been catching a lot of rain the over the last week, and the ground is truly saturated. Soaked down into the tree roots enough to really wake up the local fungus colonies, it seems. Here are three flavors that pretty much popped up in a matter of hours, including that big orange one, which is roughly a foot across. Shot these all within fifty yards and ten minutes of each other. Hope you don't have any fungus inside your favorite macro lens - but had any in front of it? Share some photos, Nikon people - it's Wednesday!shroom_white.thumb.jpg.4fe91068bf60614704dba1613da089c3.jpg shroom_red.thumb.jpg.06c1e54da46284f2b4abc143b43bf5f3.jpg shroom_orange.thumb.jpg.fb0c3406bcd035d20050141bf39e3130.jpg

It won't start raining for another month or so out here, so the mushrooms haven't showed up yet. Instead, I'm relying on memories of spring runoff. Dynamite Rapid on the Trinity River, California (Nikonos-V; Ektachrome; taken several years ago but scanned today). It’s not as bad as it looks, as long as you stay upright and avoid the rocks…

We just got back from Glacier and I'm going through my photos. It was very smoky while we were there, so I don't have a lot of vast landscape photos, but we still had a great time and now know what we want to do next time. :)

D750, 24-85

Bad fire season in the West -- 'bout the only "benefit", sometimes superb sunrises / sunsets. Here in Montana, a daily haze.

Yes, I'm very fond of saying that nothing makes for great sunsets like air pollution. :)

Here in SLC we get lots of that...

Typical fisheye is usually behind home plate. Thought at the L field foul pole would be the opposite. Rather than players, guy firing T shirts into the crowd was my subject. I try not to take the standard cliched shot. Edit is a bit of a tip of the ball cap to Man Ray. 784503178_ManRayCatchingaTshirt(1of1).jpg.fff2455c28aa7f2d4c32214883c0b2ba.jpg Or was it a foul tip?

Double-crested cormorant taking off, Nikon D500 + 200-500mm/f5.6 AF-S VR

 

What is unusual was that this bird was taking off from water towards me. While the D500 has great AF, the 200-500's AF is on the slower side and had some difficulty catching up with the constantly changing distance from the cormorant. Fortunately, at 10 fps, I had a sufficient number of sharp frames to choose from.
