One Humungous Fungus — wk 22

While waiting for the train at the light rail station, I noticed a plant growing out of a grate. Approaching closer, I noticed that a dandelion had made its way through one of the holes in the grate.

On Wednesday we had a welcome storm that brought plenty of rain. After leaving work under cover of an umbrella, I captured this image of the slick pavement and sidewalk with my iPhone. After processing in Simply HDR, I got a gritty image with detail in the stormy clouds.

At the Arapaphoe light rail station, there were bright colorful flowers and slick sidewalks swimming in rain! This provided an image that I could  process with one of the Iris filters.

By the time Friday came around, the skies had cleared and the water had dried up. While waiting for the train, I looked up at the concrete work on the overpass bridge. The diagonals make for an interesting image.

Returning home, I noticed a fungus had grown over the site of our tree that once provided shade to the house. Over the last week or so, the fungus had grown to some 18 inches in diameter.

The surface of the fungus has a really interesting pattern. I just had to capture an image of this humongous plant! Don’t know how long that fungus will be around in all its glory.
