Coral Fungi

This one was very tiny, and very low on the ground, Check the size of the rian drop.
And some are on the ground.
Very tiny and fragile

Some fungi are on trees and a little easier to get too.
Doing the gardening.
Respite from the rain.

It was so nice to find that Alan Shadwell and Susie Kirk had travelled from Nelson to be with us at the Boyle, to hunt the fungi. 
 Alan and Susie had also travelled with Alice and myself to  Nova Scotia

Lensbaby Workshop.




















In May, Alice, Lorraine, Pat and myself attended a workshop with Mary-Jo Bedford on the Lensbaby.  This is a lens which fits onto SLR Cameras, and gives an arty look.  Or some people may say, an out of focus image!!   I like the look, and have now bought one. These are some of the images from the 2 day workshop.
