What a delightful find! The contrast colors and shapes...and details...are terrific... well done. By chance, did you get a perspective from an angle besides top-down?

Andrey - Another stunner. The Mushroom looks so nice in the midst of all the greens and patterns and the hopper there makes it all the more interesting and beautiful !

I love what you're doing with these two moss pictures. I can see a great series using this flora with a variety of insects. In this one, I like how the grasshopper seems to believe he's all camouflaged, but with the mushroom surrounding him, he really stands out.
