The spice of life is definitely in the details.
I was rushing out of the hospital when I just happened to look down. This mushroom caused me to pause. Even though I don't enjoy eating them, this particular mushroom was quite beautiful to me...the shape, the textures. I quickly forgot about all of the things I need to accomplish today and stopped to shoot some photographs of it.
I do understand the value of slowing down at times. Sometimes I have to force myself. On occasion, something puts on the breaks for me. Those days are a touch more fulfilling.
