fairy mushrooms?

Dear friends,
It rains everyday these past two weeks. The monsoon season is here, no doubt. I came back from lunch this afternoon and saw the cutest cluster of mushrooms, just on the west side of our apartment building. By the lane. The city council cut down some trees a few months ago and the mushrooms just sprout, feeding off the bark. I'm thankful for the humidity we're blessed with :). I have no idea what they're called but they're so cute, I had to share.




Some begin to die. Maybe too much rain :). Glad I saw them just in time.


Peter Pan would love to play here.


When I was a kid, my late grandma and I often went out in her backyard looking for edible mushrooms in the rainy season. These white beauties I saw today brought back sweet memories :).



My plants are happy with all the rain while I wither, LOL. Like I'm living in Forks!. I'm not a bit unhappy about it, look what I found today :). Simple pleasures from nature if you slow down and 'see'. 

Have a good day everyone. Hugs.

What makes my heart flutter?

Hi friends,
Been meaning to share the photos from my inspirational 'walkabout' in town recently. All thanks to Alisa Burke who has shared fresh ideas on spotting little things that 'talked' to me. Great inspiration for art journals too.

Here are some things that make my heart flutters. {Mind my amateur photography :)}.

Inspiration #1: Chevron brick sidewalk.
Inspiration #2: Geometric tiles beneath water fountain.
Inspiration #3: Flowers wrap in paper.

Inspiration #4: White-washed wall.
Inspiration #5: Pebbly pavement.
Inspiration #6: Beaten up wall.

Inspiration #7: Old wooden windows with graffiti.
Inspiration #8: Screaming red brooms.
Inspiration #9: Delicate flowers.
Inspiration #10: Graffiti space art.

Amongst many of what I saw that day. Do they also talk to you??.
Hope that I would be able to create something out of these lovely things. I just started a little 'walkabout photography' notebook. So excited. Open your heart & look at things with different eyes. I tried and loving it. Happy Friday!

Hugs,
Shahrul
