Why do mushroom children behave so well?
They don’t want to get in truffle.
some one tell my kids that…
last fungi for awhile I promise 🙂

Pandanus.
My little old weathered pandaus tree, I reckon i have photographed every angle on this little guy, however this time I tried a different composition with the tanin stained creek in the foreground and super wide, more that 180 degree field of view.

Lightning
Walking back along the beech there was heaps of lightning action off in the distance – at 35mm i did not have much chance but I did sit here and take a couple of longish 4 minute exposures, oddly enough, one did capture a nice bolt, even if it was a long way away – probably a good thing 🙂 Knowing my luck i would get nailed 🙂

Don’t post anything about Australia day 🙂
the rage is well alive with the keyboard warriors 🙂

The blocker.
There is always one.

Check this fungi out.
It was smaller than the size of your little finger nail.

So many FUngi. So little time.

Govetts Leap
A couple of panos looking back from Barrows Lookout, if you look to the left of the frames you can see Williams tracks, thats the stairs going down the side of the cliff 🙂 anyone up for some calf muscle workouts ? 🙂 The white dots are supply bags as they seem to be doing a few renos on it.
Whilst its not the same scale as say Norwegian hills, its still pretty impressive and you can literally see the layers of time exposed in the rock faces.

Canyon Slot.

Half Tide Beach.
I loved the way the clouds mimic the rock fingers on the foreground of this shot – which segways into this weeks awesome pun session.. which part of your body is most reliable ? you can always count on your fingers 🙂

I may have peaked to early on the puns.
My ray of humour may have been extinguished.

Cyptotrama asprata (inedible)
I love looking for fungi and taking pictures of them, unlike snakes, at least these killers can’t move 🙂
A key message from fungimap, which sums it up..
“Fungimap does not encourage eating wild Australian mushrooms because so little is known about their edibility and many poisonous species are virtually indistinguishable from safe varieties.” Pano shots, 3 stitched shots for each one.

Creek Fungi.
I found this pretty cool fungi cluster on a log in the creek, it was next to a few nice small cascades which could not be left un-photographed (yep thats a word now.)
Both shots are stitched panos using the 24-70mm lens. The waterfall one I was trying to get a bit more compression on the scene so the log did not look so small.. kinda worked. The norizontal one.. well, that was purely dictated by where I could put my hoofs and keep them dry. Coachwood Glen, Blackheath
(on a funny side note, imagine having your last name the same as the town you live in… 🙂 what a cool way to spin people out when you meet them 🙂 )
