Fungus
I took a hike yesterday and on the way out I sprained my right
ankle. I'll be limping around on crutches for several days and have to
do a follow up visit to the doctor next week. It was actually an awesome
day. The weather was great and I had a great time up to the point where
I hurt myself (klutziness strikes again). Unfortunately I was 2 miles
in the woods when it happened and no one else was around so I had no
choice but to walk out on it with help from a large stick. What would
normally take me 30-40 minutes took over 2½ hours and then I drove home
80 miles before going to the ER. By then it was badly swollen but the x-rays showed nothing broken. That was a bit of luck. I just have to stay off it for a while,
ice it a couple of times a day, etc. I got some good mushroom/fungus
photos though. The one above is the best of the bunch. I used my G11. This group was growing on the side of a tree along the trail.

A great shot of mushroom cluster. I love the way you look down and into the cluster at the same time. Wonderful colours and very nice graphics. Good that you didn't break anything during the hike
ReplyDeleteThanks. I was lucky not to break any bones. The group of mushrooms was actually growing up a crease in the side of the tree at the base. We have a lot of mushrooms and fungus this year because it has been unusually wet this summer. I have a set of mushroom/fungus photos on Flickr that I shot on earlier outings.
ReplyDeleteHoping for fast healing! (Love the photo)
