#Theme:

Show us the forest as we have never seen it before. This could be, for example, small details that the unwary walker misses. Or of secluded forest dwellers that no one has ever seen before. Incredibly magnificent plant and fungi wonders. Or fantasy scenes of magical beauty and wildness and secrets that take place in the forest and that are only revealed to those who are in the right place at the right time.

No modern technology, no weapons/battles, no memes.

#Rules:

  1. Follow the community’s rules above all else
  2. One comment and image per user
  3. Embed image directly in the post (no external link)
  4. Workflow/Prompt sharing encouraged (we’re all here for fun and learning)
  5. Posts that are tied will both get the points
  6. The challenge runs for 7 days from now on

At the end of the challenge each post will be scored:

    In New Zealand we have a little blue/purple mushroom (Entoloma hochstetteri) that grows in the depths of our temperate rain forests. It features on our $50 bank note - probably the only bank note that has a mushroom as one of its main features. Not many people get to see, or notice, this little pop of bright colour deep in the forest.

    Prompt: A secret moss garden in a dense temperate rain forest, in the foreground is a blue mushroom with dew drops glistening

      That was close! This picture might have won if the mushroom had been depicted botanically correctly (the Entoloma hochstetteri has a slightly different cap, as far as I can tell from pictures on the www). All in all, however, a very nice picture and a fascinating image of the micro-world of New Zealand. Well done, you won second place in this challenge. 🥈
