  1. Excellent, and well described as always. It's good times now in the Netherlands for autumn pics, you know they're always welcome here! Posted 13 years ago
    1. Autumn indeed. This picture is made during a photography workshop I did last week with autumn as theme.
      It ended up with everyone laying on it's knees taking pictures of mushrooms :)
      I will post some more pictures here soon.

  2. At first wrongly identified the fly as a dung fly, but it is more likely a humus fly (Suillia fuscicornis). Posted 13 years ago
