A Gray Day's Charm

Amidst the relentless blaze of the sun, a welcome respite arrived in the form of a delightful gray-ish day last Saturday. Seeking refuge from the scorching heat, I embarked on a journey to Central City, a picturesque haven nestled in the mountains. The air felt fresher, the colors softer - nature's own canvas muted in soothing tones. As I ventured on a short hike, the atmosphere felt more tranquil, and I couldn't help but appreciate the change in scenery.

 

So many colors, so many shapes... mushroom's portraits ;)

We rarely look down and register the small objects that surround us. But once you look at ones that usually don't really attract our attention you can find some fascinating details. Let's do it today, should we? Let's go to the woods and collect some... mushroom pictures (or, I'd like to call them mushroom's portraits).

 

Yeah, that's mushrooms again ;)

Honestly, I didn't really plan to go hiking that Saturday. My intention was more practical - to go to the mountains and look for some mushrooms. But the road I intended to use was closed until 9AM and I had about an hour to kill, so I decided to look for the mushrooms around Three Sisters park, because I was close to this place. So I turned my wheels and soon parked my car and was walking in the forest, hiking and looking under my feet in hope to find something edible. And... cuz I didn't plan on hiking, the only device to register surroundings was my cell, so don't be disappointed with the pictures ;)

 

Are there any mushrooms to collect?

I was having my breakfast when the idea struck me - why not go to the mountain and hunt for some mushrooms? Really, why not? ;)

 

Mmmushroommmms ;)

 Do you like wild mushrooms? I like them... And I love going to the woods and picking them up...
