A few WA morels and stuff
    #10160649 -

yup spring is here for sure now, don't look outside, just take my word for it :wink:

went to check things out back east this weekend.  as I figured, morels were just getting started.  got some rain yesterday and today, might go take another look next weekend if I have time.  a few might have been pickable but I left them all to grow, several new ones popped up in the couple days I was over.  temps are still on the cool side and most plants/trees seem a week or 2 later than usual.  coprinus micaceus was the only other fresh mushroom I saw up anywhere.  here are some shots:









since morel hunting wasn't so great I spent a little time out wandering around sagebrush country checking out spring wildflowers and working on the photography skills, or lack thereof :tongue:


Woolly-pod locoweed/milkvetch (Astragalus purshii).  played around with DOF stacking to get this pic, turned out pretty sweet, can't wait to try it on some mushrooms :grin:


Grass widows (Sisyrinchium inflatum), cool plants!


Sagebrush buttercup (Ranunculus glabberimus)


Sagebrush violet (Viola trinervata)


Arrowleaf balsamroot (Balsamorhiza sagittata) covered hillside


Cushion Phlox (Phlox hoodii) blooming on a hillside


Some basalt columns

Awesome finds Spores, and awesome photos!!!  How did you do that depth of focus stacking on the locoweed?  Is that a special feature on your camera?  Depth of focus is really tricky with macros, definitely something I've been trying to work on lately.

I was just out in that same sage country a week ago! Locoweed and basalt columns :tongue2: :



I love it out east of the Cascades.  Reminds me of Colorado.

I'll be heading out there again for morels end of April/early May, PM me if you want to meet up  :headbang:

haha, you got a locoweed pic too? nice :thumbup:

pretty sure I know exactly where those columns are :smile:

I used the distance bracketing function in CHDK and a tripod to take several shots at different focus ranges and ran them through CombineZM.  takes a while but it seems to work well as long as there is no wind or movement between frames.

yeah I'd be down for a hunt over that way in a few weeks, we'll see how the weather shapes up in the next couple...
