In the spotlight

This Puffball image is from my archives, taken on 22 August 2009, at West Bragg Creek, Kananaskis. The forest can be so dark and so many of my fungi photos are taken in low light, but I still remember how a tiny bit of sunlight was piercing the tree canopy, to fall just in the right spot.

Well, fancy that, it's snowing heavily this morning (11:00 a.m.), ha. Missed yet another bird walk, as I just can't summon up any motivation to go walking in bad weather, taking photos in low light and then coming home and deleting them. Guess I need to change my attitude a little, right? I'm sure everyone is getting really fed up of this ongoing wintry weather! Cheer up, friends, the weather is going to change - it's going to rain : )

My heart goes out to all those who have been affected by the terrible explosions near the finish line at the Boston Marathon today. Such a tragic event. Must have brought back dreadful memories of 9-11 to so many people.
