I'm heading back out for a poetry reading (Tuesdays are busy!) so I won't be here to answer your comments until later...about 3 hours from now! I will reconnect after that time. Thanks in advance!

2. Farmer's markets!

After seeing this I can hardly wait. The photographs are beautiful. I cannot get over the detail in the mushrooms.

Thanks for this spring treat!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

9. Thank you so much, my dear NJCher!

I hope yours opens very soon.

The macro setting on this Olympus camera is so damn good. I love it.

3. Those are superb, Peggy!

I love the mushrooms especially! And the boxes of berries have a sort of neat rhythm to the image.

May I ask what the first and the third one are?

[CaliforniaPeggy]

10. Ah, thank you for your lovely comments, my dear Diamond_Dog!

The mushrooms really are so exotic. I am afraid that I have no idea what the first and third ones are.

Maybe someone will comment who does know.

I also loved the diagonal organization to the berries.

5. I want some of those mushrooms! ;-)

Your photos are wonderful. Our farmers market has not started yet, but I can't wait to go again!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

12. Thanks so much, my dear callalily!

The mushrooms are truly exotic to my eyes.

The weather here in CA allows us the luxury of year-round farmer's markets. We ARE spoiled!

7. Terrific photos dear Peggy!

You're really putting that new Olympus to good use. It's hard to pick a favorite, but those mushrooms are really cool!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

14. Aw, thank you so much, my dear Grumpy! You're too kind.

Every time I pick that camera up and turn it on, my confidence grows.

I'm having a ball!

15. You have outdone yourself. I can't say more . . .

[CaliforniaPeggy]

16. Thank you so much, Andy.....

I am so sorry about today's horror.

17. Wow the Oyster and Lions Mane mushrooms are making me hungry 😋. We don't usually

see variety like that here in Wisconsin. But we do have the elusive Morels! Yum! Love the photographs, you can almost feel the textures 😊

[CaliforniaPeggy]

18. Aw, thanks for your lovely comments, my dear Ziggysmom!

So you recognize three of these! That's great. I don't know them at all.

Could you kindly tell me which ones are the Oyster, the Morel and Lion's Mane? I've been wondering!

Thanks!

[Ziggysmom]

19. Hi CA Peggy 😊. From the photos as far as I can tell, the top pic looks like Oyster to me.

The 2nd pic looks like Lions Mane and the 3rd appears to be Chanterelle. The Morel I mentioned is what I usually pick here in Wisconsin. They have a more Truffel like flavor and are obscenely expensive, around 25-30 dollars per pound. I started picking them with my grandfather in the 1960s and it's a spring ritual we look forward to. Here's a video of some Morel picking fun 😋

20. Just want to say

Nice "as is" composition, and colors. I won't get technical, and that's hard for me to pass on!

Mule ear daisies are just now opening, hundreds of them, and i'll share some. Macro is a delight. That's how I started, and never stopped.
