The other day I drove home a different route from usual and suddenly pulled the car over to the curb because I’d caught sight of some beautiful, red-and-white spotted toadstools out the corner of my eye and I had to photograph them. Yay! for having my camera with me that day!

I love these fly agaric toadstools, they make me think of magical fairy stories. And I love the word ‘toadstool’! I always imagine fat toads sitting on them with their legs daintily crossed. That little toadstool in the middle is so perfect and spotty, isn’t it?

And look at how huge this one is! I had to take a picture of it with my feet for size comparison so you could fully appreciate how large it is. More like a toad armchair, or even a sofa…
