After a less than fruitful season last year, the mushrooms have been popping up like crazy on the west coast this fall. I have a special liking for taking pictures of mushrooms, as they were my favourite subjects when I first picked up photography back in the days of film. I spent many hours in the soaking wet rainforests of the mainland to take mushroom portraits, sometimes flat out with my belly to the ground. They definitely force you to see a different perspective, and for that I'll always continue to shoot them with fondness.

This lovely arbutus tree greeted me on my first visit to Orcas Island. I've loved these trees since first getting to know them on moving to the west coast. Indralaya is a Sanskrit word meaning "a home for the spiritual forces in nature".
