Another one of my images was selected for the Spherical exhibition at the A Smith Gallery in Johnson City, Texas. The juror was Carla Ellard who is the Assistant Curator, SW & Mexican Photography Collection, Wittliff Collection at Texas State University in San Marcos.

After the Rain

Please be sure to visit the A Smith Gallery web site and view all the images accepted into Spherical.

The opening reception for Domicile will be on Saturday, November 27th, from 4pm to 7pm. Johnson City’s Lighted Hooves and Wheels parade starts at 6:30pm, so you should plan a day trip to view the exhibition and the parade.

“After the Rain” is a photograph of a small set of mushrooms that popped up in our yard after a recent rain. I don’t know what kind they are, but as always with mushrooms – if you don’t know what they are, then assume they’re poisonous.

The largest one was about 5 inches in diameter and they only lasted about 3 days before withering. Mushrooms are fungi and the part we think of as the mushroom is actually the fruiting body of a network of tiny thread-like parts in the soil called mycelium.
