September Toadstools
Posted on 01/10/2017 by Louise Bunting
As usual, I took far more photos of toadstools during September than I could possibly include on my Changing Seasons post. I thought I’d share them with you today instead.

As soon as it starts feeling autumnal, I start wanting to photograph gravestones. It may only be August, but it already feels as if Autumn has arrived, bringing along with it thoughts of death and decay, and the ever turning cycles of existence. Some people might call it morbid, but I've never felt it to be so. Death is a natural and necessary part of existence.

Blue skies over the meadow.

I can easily spend all day sitting in the middle of the meadow, listening to the birds singing, and watching the bees, butterflies and insects on the plants. All I need is a camera, a notebook, or a sketchpad (or all three!) plus plenty of coffee and snacks, and I'm set up for the day.

You can keep your stone walls: I'll worship amongst the trees.

I love churches as historical buildings, but I feel no draw to enter them. I like to root my toes in the earth, feel the wind in my hair and the sun on my face, as dew-laden leaves weigh down the branches of the trees overhead. That is when I feel connected with deity.

I didn't realise that the bench was in the middle of a fairy circle until I looked down and saw the toadstools beside my feet. Had I found a fairy trap for the unwary traveller, ready to whisk someone away to the Otherland? I was tempted to return at midnight, when the August moon was full - a time, or so I've heard, when it's easier to connect with the fairy kingdom. I've always dreamt of being swept away to a magical land...

If only I were brave enough to risk it. .

Would you be?

Love them! Your fungus is very photogenic. 🙂

Thank you. 🙂 I find the best way to take good pictures of funghi is to get right down to their level – which on damp, autumnal mornings means I usually have rather wet jeans by the time I’m done! I’m glad you like them.

Fairy tale magic aura to these…lyrically photographed if that is possible. Many thanks for sharing and I’ll never look at toadstools in the same way again! 😀❤️

Thank you, Annika. I always find toadstools to be quite magical things. I actually have lots of pixie stories I’ve jotted down while photographing them that I really need to type up and illustrate! Thanks for visiting. 🙂
