    2024 was an excellent year for Mushrooms, this one was taken in Linford Woods, early November. I have been visiting Linford for many years to study the mushrooms and this year came across 47 different varieties. Even now in late December there are mushrooms to be found, if you look hard enough.

    I enjoy macro photography highlighting parts of everyday object wee usually overlook. In this picture, I noted the opening of the white rose petals to reveal the reds and oranges of the stamens and pistil against a golden glow formed from the light diffusing through the scene, like the opening of a painted paper fan.
