After several days of rain in my village, I couldn't miss the opportunity to explore a small forest that holds hidden wonders. That morning, the air was still fresh with the remains of dew and the wet soil was the perfect place for mushrooms to grow. With camera in hand, I began my adventure in search of beauty hidden among the leaves and grass.
My first trip led me to an interesting discovery. Among the still wet grass, a mushroom grows with a mushroom that resembles the arch of the sky. The pink color stands out, similar to the warmth that comes after rain. I immediately lowered myself, trying to get the right angle, making sure that the texture of the mushroom was captured in perfect detail. I managed to capture every detail of the fine fibers and soft colors.
Not far from there, I found a pair of mushrooms growing like friends standing side by side. Both grow on top of cow dung, drawing nutrients from forgotten remains. The whiteness of the mushrooms contrasts with the darkness of the soil beneath, creating a dramatic and stunning composition. I ducked closer, adjusting my focus to isolate them from the busy background, making it seem like they were speaking in the silence of the forest.
The day's experience was not only about taking photos, but also appreciating life that goes on without many witnesses. Every photo I take not only captures shape and color, but also a story about resilience and beauty that emerges in unexpected conditions. I'm sharing this story and the photos I took in the hope that they will inspire others in the #photographylover community to see and appreciate the small details that are often overlooked.
