I noticed my recent posts are blending together – they all look green, brown and have a mushroom theme.  So here are some photos from a Spring trip to the Dallas Arboretum. The senses seem to come alive with these … Continue reading A splash of color

Worth the shot!

July 6, 2016February 9, 2022 bigbertha

My ongoing Fungus as Art series continues with photos from Cooper Lake State Park.  I took my time setting up the shot with my tripod and I opted for f/32.  In the future I’ll go less extreme with f/16. The … Continue reading Worth the shot!

Lots-o-‘shrooms

June 13, 2016February 9, 2022 bigbertha

I recently visited my all-time favorite park:  the Fort Worth Nature Center & Refuge.  It never disappoints – there is the element of controlled danger – from ticks… to snakes… and the opportunity to get stuck on a trail.  This time, … Continue reading Lots-o-‘shrooms

This post features two versions of the same photo. The first photo is cropped to focus on the eye. The second photo shows the entire frog. I have additional photos that I opted not to share as they aren’t for general … Continue reading Frog Appreciation

Mushrooms!

June 12, 2016February 9, 2022 bigbertha

With last year’s flooding I’ve noticed changes at nearly every park I visit this season: MUSHROOMS! I used to have a very limited supply of mushroom photos.  Now I have surplus. Here are highlights from a recent visit to Lake Tawakoni … Continue reading Mushrooms!

Crossing the threshold

June 8, 2016February 9, 2022 bigbertha
