For Heather ...

I took this photo in Kensington Gardens in London.  The toadstools were growing on wooden steps that led right up into a hedge!  I might not have noticed these at all if it wasn't for a pair of cheeky squirrels!

One of many photos from Hocking Hills (my favorite place in the world!)

I found these on the property of the Willow Brook B&B, just outside of Columbus.  They keep peacocks!  (A few of the feathers found their way into my luggage ...)

I found these golden toadstools in the woods at Stratford Eco Center.  A couple of years ago, I helped with some organic gardening there.  We were leaving and I thought I saw a patch of sunlight breaking through the trees in the woods.  I realized there was no sun out, so I yelled, "Stop the car!"  And I found these!  You could see the growth trail through the woods.  The trail ended under the tree. (Photo quality not so great from cell phone.)

More photos from another trip to Hocking Hills, sometime in September of 2006 (maybe).  I think this first photo is my favorite because they look like eggs in a nest.  I couldn't have arranged that photo op better.

This photo is from the camping trip to Buck Creek State Park last fall.  It was taken on the bike path somewhere between the park and Springfield, Ohio.
