I spent a lot of the day on the Bass/Dry lake trail near Ely, and here's some of what I found.

My thoughts precisely. However, these photos show you are a very diversified photographer - flora, fauna and the little insects that share the forest. Great shots, all.

Black polar fleece, bubba, black polar fleece.

Although in this case I kept the backdrop in my bag, and this is an all natural BG. The background was deeply shadowed black/green forest floor, and when underexposing the image to make sure the whites in the shroom aren't blown out, it darkens the background even more.
