I have been told that missing princesses are guarded by mythical dragons that fly and spout fire; I find no castle and sleeping dragon over here, but see little orange mushrooms, and mosquitoes are their guardian.
The mosquitoes maybe not as strong as a dragon, but they manage wave after wave of air attacks.
These little mushrooms are smaller than my pinkie nail, but are visible at a dark corner. Those "Ninja" mosquitoes just come from nowhere.
I am not a prince who rides on a white horse but am armed with a flashsaber, the mosquitoes somehow change to attack from behind. My dark blue trouser is an obvious target to them. I can feel the stings.
Who care who are the winner in the end.
Stunning mushrooms, and gorgeously capture by the great adventurer! Beautiful and so rare, Rainfield..
ReplyDeletethis is a stunning mushroom, i love the top, it is like a pearl
ReplyDeletethose mushrooms are such a delight to watch.
ReplyDeletegreat perpectives! and yeah, who cares who wins in the end? life is definitely not a race or about winning competitions...
ReplyDeletepardon my missing S.
ReplyDeleteThat's a strange looking mushroom I have never seen before. What's that orange coloured translucent blob on top of the mushroom?
ReplyDeleteThe first photo reminds me of kuih bahulu. I have not seen this one before. The ones I see usually resembles roti, umbrella or matchstick... :)
ReplyDeleteIt's very brave of you to endure such attacks to get these wonderful pictures of the mushrooms. They may be little, but they definitely are beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThese are magnificent macros, Rainfield. Wow! I am so impressed by your adventures these days.
ReplyDeleteI agree with ONE the first thought in my head was it looks like kuih bahulu. Maybe because I have not break my fast today:)
ReplyDeleteOh, but what is that lovely liquid gem balanced on each little mushroom?
ReplyDeleteWow, I've never seen one like these- beautiful topping! Must be magical in there!
ReplyDeleteI think those mosquitoes must feel awful victorious while we're kept occupied (lol).
lol with the ninja mosquis! indeed they are so light and you'll hardly notice them except the mark and itch that's left.
ReplyDeleteI can't believe those mushrooms are that small too, great shots.
Interesting encounter with the mosquitos! It's a win-win I guess....:-)
ReplyDeleteThose princeses have lovely dresses and shiny crowns....
ReplyDeleteThanks for shooting those lovely pictures amidst mosquito attacks :)
ReplyDeleteThey really look like kuih bahulu.
ReplyDeleteTouch gently, don't break them.
Wait till morning, with my backpack at my back, I'll have my next hiking again.
ReplyDeleteAnd it goes on, with countless pots of gold to take back.
What an adventurer you are! Maybe your next encounter will be with orange mosquitoes and ninja mushrooms!
ReplyDeleteLovely post and photos, so sorry that you were attacked while getting these lovely mushroom photos.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful macros of the mushrooms.
ReplyDeleteMoscitos all over the world seem to be attracted by the colour blue (it happens in Europe, too...)
may be it is not a mushroom, but some kid tricked you by putting those Chinese New year ckaes? LOL
ReplyDeleteYour wife is a lucky woman to receive those letters from you.
My Ah Pek is not romantic and doesn't like to write.
Beautiful mushroooms, Rainfield. They almost look like little pies or dessert cups.
ReplyDeletethat is one fascinating mushroom.
ReplyDeleteYou do come across the rarest of the kind, what an unusual mushroom! And a one that looks like a yummy muffin too. =D
ReplyDeletegreat macro work
ReplyDeleteThat's such an interesting mushroom, and fabulous capture by you!
