This project has turned me into a child on Christmas morning, leaping out of bed and dashing out the door with my camera to find my present to show the world! I wrote this to one of my Flickr friends (Hi Els !) last night when describing what it's like to work on this project. Today I looked out and initially felt sad because the frost had mostly melted, but then I smiled with joy because I don't need frost in all of my pictures! Down along our big meadow and across the granite valley I went, slowing to a stop when I got close to my destination. I'd seen a few tiny mushroom babies a couple of days ago and hoped I might get a picture of them playing in the moss. Their giggling gives them away so I listened until I heard their tiny tinkling laughter to tell me where they were. Peeking around a tree, I spotted two of them running around playing tag, and when I bent down to take a picture, they both saw me and froze. I think they knew who I was because they didn't run away! Instead, one of them glided up as close as it dared, tilting it head curiously at me before giggling and dashing away with its shy friend. They're so cute, aren't they?! :) Bryant H.
