Different Views From the Morning
All plans stopped early this morning when I noticed the sun shining through a handful of pleated inkcap mushrooms that popped up in our yard. I lost the battle to mosquitos as I composed a variety of images of the little fungi, but I enjoyed the results - skeeter welts or not!

Near the dainty fungi was an oak leaf with raindrops on it. I found three views of the same leaf as shown here.

Eventually I was out shooting photos of regular observations. My comments are not meant to imply that I take prothonotary warblers for granted. I do see them frequently though.
