For some reason, for the last two years, I have these huge mushrooms, fungi, toadstools (or whatever you want to call them) growing in my front yard. Last year I waited too long before I took a picture. They seem to get bigger everyday and then without warning they whither and fall apart.

Today, as soon as I got out of the car, I pulled out the camera from my purse  and switched to the macro zoom setting. I’m sure my neighbour across the street thought I was a little crazy as I got down on my hands and knees to get these shots.
