view from ground level



A few days ago, I noticed a fast-growing mushroom in my front yard. Needless to say, the lawnmower had already shaved the cap (I assume it had a cap!) but this one had an unusually thick stalk, and made for an entertaining close-up (left).


I tried to dodge it the next time, to allow it to grow into whatever nature intended, but .. the mower got a bit close and turned it into mold spores.

Now how are you going to adjust your size?

Sorry, I was making an (obscure) reference to the mushroom in chapter 5 of "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland". See http://www.cs.indiana.edu/metastuff/wonder/ch5.html
