Astonishing

From "Mushrooms", by Mary Oliver:

...pummeling upward
through leaves,
through grasses,
through sand; astonishing
in their suddenness,
their quietude,
their wetness, they appear
on fall mornings, some
balancing in the earth
on one hoof...


(Can see why focus stacking would be good for this - chose the stem in focus more for the raindrops.)


Paid my Blip membership, gladly, and tagged a few entries with PRsimple for the Community Challenge, Savouring the Simple Things.


Gratefuls:
- this Blip community
- walking round the Land with Mike and seeing all the changes that rain has brought already
- meeting Verena and Mário on our Chapel walk
