Day 273 (638)
Multi-tasking...
This mushroom was growing out of a knothole in the side of a tree. Seems to be a busy year for mushrooms. Love the details of the mushroom. And I always love moss.
Hippie Potions and Lotions
Fun day today. The past several days have been spent getting things done before we leave for Florida. My business is the most organized it has ever been. This morning I cleared my custom order board and mailed out all pending orders. Late this morning I headed for the kitchen and created some wo nderful lotions. The pretty peppermint jars contain "Peppermint Perfection", a luscious hand balm that has a heavenly peppermint scent. The "Green Stuff" is a boo-boo salve. It works great on cuts, burns, very dry skin and it stops bug bites from itching. And the pretty lotion in the middle is "Mara's Magical Moisturizer" which I created for my granddaughter to help relieve some of her dry skin caused by eczema. This is a new and improved version. I am hoping this will work even better than the last batch. Not in this photo is the body wash I made. Super rich and its wonderful smell is peppermint and sweet orange. The fun
I like the way the DoF provides not only a focus on the subject but also gives a pretty bokeh and added forest setting to the story. The texture of the moss and bark contrast well with the smooth mushroom and the even lighting, while unfortunately blowing out the top of the shroom, gives a nice cool, calm feeling overall. And besides all that... it's just really neat to see a mushroom growing out of a knothole!
