Mushrooms and more

So this weekend, with all my deadlines looming I went took photographs. Why, you ask? Well my trusty Dell, for only the second time in it's four years went *poit*. The adapter had gone bad. And nothing could be got until the week began. Incidentally all things go *poit* on Fridays when you can do little about them.

I took it as a sign that the world wanted me to do something else for a while. Here are some of the results.

A peach one (not quite impudent, how I wish it were)
