Have you ever been in the forest right after the rain? With the large drops still falling from the trees when the slightest wind shakes them, the birds slowly get back to their usual activities and chirping an the sun slowly shows up again?
The crystal clear air, clean from all the dust and filled with the smell of wet soil, moss and leaves. Everything is fresh and looks so much better.
That was one of those days. Except that the rain caught me in the forest, but getting wet was all worth it. All the shiny drops around, silence an fresh air around me. So calming and so relaxing despite the wet clothes.
Most of the forest was covered in pine needles and dead leaves. And then from time to time the large patches of fresh green moss was showing up, like islands among the brown dirt. After the rain it looked even better!
The one, big, red Amanita was the king if that spot.
And tons of the little ones that found the prefect place to grow. There were few types scattered around. None of them edible, so I just walked around making sure I don't step on any an enjoyed the view.
No mushrooms here. Just the soft, green pillows of moss. I liked how the sun hits it with all the little shadows around it.
Lastly one lovely blurry photo where the camera refuse to focus on the little shrooms. It focused on the sticking pine needles instead. I guess they were way more interesting...
