I just popped in today to share this amazing photo with you. There are somethings that an iPhone camera aces – great skies and amazing low-down shots. I was stunned at how this photo came out as all I did was lean down and shove the phone right up to the mushrooms. What came out was a fairytale kingdom, a mushroom palace, a whole world where little people live in secret.
As a girl I used to love Molly Brett illustrations and would dream up and draw little animal kingdoms living in tree roots in woodland. This discovery above, would have fired my imagination no end. In fact I would probably have taken it as confirmation that Molly drew from real life!

Love your mushroom photo. I’ve become addicted to taking photos with my iPhone. Especially in winter and on walks with the dogs, it’s so much easier to slip it into my pocket than to have to carry my big camera.
I was totally into miniature kingdoms when I was little, too. I had a book that I can barely remember now where the characters wore acorn tops as hats and I just loved the idea of being so small that I’d need to repurpose objects like that. I always loved Cicely Mary Barker’s flower fairies, too.

What a fabulous picture. I love the way the mushrooms rise like castles in the air. I hadn’t realised the iphone does good skies too. i must have a go.
