After a fortnight of steady work free from on-call duties, I find that my sleep pattern is at last restored. I have also resumed the habit of reading the news and attending to various hobbies. Advancing age has made me realise that I can no longer endure the unrelenting burden of round-the-clock shifts.
This particular mushroom is frequently found at Lake Sanitarium, Mount Macedon. The gentle rear green bokeh it affords is a quality I hold in highest esteem—though, amusingly, it is the very aspect that Joel most dislikes.

It seems very difficult to me to have such an on-call duty. I understand that you don't really want to do that anymore. It's probably not healthy. May I ask how old you are?
ReplyDeleteLate 40s now.
Delete...fungus amongus.
ReplyDeleteFungus will take over the world
DeleteI actually like the background better than the mushroom! I hope there is a way you can avoid these exhausting shifts?
ReplyDeleteEvery now and then, I feel safer to top up the bank account. Or contract work really varies
DeleteBokeh adds charm and magic to photographs, though it's not always to be welcomed. It depends on the subject, I suppose.
ReplyDeleteDepends what is in the rear bokeh department
DeleteBuen trabajo, amigo
ReplyDeleteUna belleza de macro
Feliz fin de semana.
Happy weekend to you too
DeleteLike a precious ornament on the lawn!
ReplyDeleteWonderful!!
The smooth creamy fluffy bokeh is the signature of the lens
DeleteThat is exquisite.
ReplyDeleteMe parece, que te debes de dejar llevar por tu criterio, a la hora de hacer las fotos.
ReplyDeleteA mí me gusta la toma tal como la has hecho.
Bokeh used to be one of my obsessions
DeleteSo pretty, looks like an umbrella.
ReplyDeleteJust missing fairies
DeleteIt's stunning :-D
ReplyDeleteLovely photo!
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute little mushroom, great photo!
ReplyDeleteHave a great day!
Wow! Very pretty.
ReplyDeleteIt's a cute little thing.
ReplyDeleteMushrooms are the fruiting bodies of Mycelium that grows underground, and it is a fascinating life form. I wish I knew more about them,
ReplyDeleteQuite ethereal.
ReplyDeleteIt's a beautiful capture, well done.
ReplyDeleteYes with age, and you realize it, so that's a good thing.
I love the color on that one...
ReplyDeleteLovely macro again. Well done.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful sharpness
ReplyDeleteGlad you are getting more rest. Gosh, this is a stunning photo!
ReplyDeleteA wonderful photograph.
ReplyDeletePleased that your sleep pattern is at last restored.
All the best Jan
I only have to look out my kitchen window to see a photogenic mushroom. But it is a bit bigger than this one, nice macro.
ReplyDeletePor aquí en el otoño es la temporada fuerte de hongos pero este año con el verano tan seco creo que no se verán muchos.
ReplyDeleteA mi me parece una foto magistral en la que destaca ese pequeño hongo, que creo es lo que intestaste mostrarnos.
Saludos.
Lovely shot, James. I hope you're feeling better soon. Old age is inevitable, a youthful attitude is a must for survival. Thank you for taking part in the "My Sunday Best" meme.
