This photo is of a poster we purchased in 1970, from the Whole Earth Catalog. I had it mounted on hardboard and framed. It remains an awe-inspiring vision to me.
Earth Rising Over Moon
This shot was taken from an airplane above the fertile agricultural fields of the Palouse, in southeast Washington State.
Earth is in a continual state of growing, decaying and regenerating.

Wonderful post, Lindy. It shows your longstanding love for the Earth and nature. As a photography nerd, I loved your fungi image. 🙂
Been waiting for the right time to feature those mushrooms on a stump! Thanks again, Olga!
That series of photos is absolutely beautiful, especially the mushrooms (toadstools?) I especially like the Whole Earth Catalogue pic because I had that poster also, and carried it with me for many, many years. Lost it somewhere along the way so it was lovely to see it cherished again.
I love the mushroom one too, and it was just the right fit! So glad posting Earth Rising brought back good memories!
Also really like the way you did your About page, readable and relevant.
Love your post – views from the macro to the micro level. Very nice!!
Thank you for visiting and commenting!
Just lovely! You are my type of photographer!

Love your opening shot Lindy – wondered how the heck you captured it until I read your full post! Nicely done.
It is such an amazing photo — too bad I didn’t take the original! Thanks again, Tina!
Lovely! Your post encompasses Earth!
Thank you, Vicky! I must say I’ve been a nature lover all my life.
Especially like the mushrooms! 🙂
Oh, I am a total toadstool nerd!
Lindy, what a lovely set of photos for this challenge. The first one is stunning, but the others are wonderful as well. I love taking photos of mushrooms, too, and your waiting garden looks great.

Hi Janet! Thanks for your compliments — and for being a good role model about it’s OK to skip a day or two when you have other, more important fish to fry!!
Lindy, I’m only partly a good example. I’ll have posts scheduled, but I just won’t be online much during the trip. Thanks, though. It’s kind of nice to take a break, even a partial one. 🙂

Thanks for dropping in with a comment, Q! Mushrooms, like amphibians, are a mark of our planet’s health. Love learning that they are among the oldest spirits of our sweet little planet — earth!
