Day 254 > Giant Puffball Mushrooms

When I came across these large puffball mushrooms at Baird Creek this morning I decided I needed to add something to the composition to help provide some perspective that would make clear how large these fungi truly are because beyond their size they are rather uninteresting. I considered the items I had with me but nothing seems appropriate. As I stood debating I glanced to my left and to my utter disbelief found the PERFECT prop just begging to be utilized. There sat a baseball, evidently an escapee from a game held in the park above the ravine. I tend to shy away from anything man made in my nature photos but this really felt like it was meant to be.

  2. Nice idea to give some perspective. They are wonderfully huge.
