"They hold their great balls in the open air, in what is called a fairy-ring. For weeks afterward you can see the ring on the grass. It is not there when they begin, but they make it by waltzing round and round. Sometimes you will find mushrooms inside the ring, and these are fairy chairs that the servants have forgotten to clear away."
- The Little White Bird excerpt by J.M. Barrie
During our last trip to Williamsburg, we took the Colonial Parkway to Riverwalk Restaurant in Yorktown and stopped at Indian Fields Creek just long enough to photograph these cute mushrooms.
Flutter to my Wordless Wednesday Directory for a list of blogs that regularly host WW Linky Parties. Grab my button as a reminder to return next week for more photography fun!
I've never seen mushrooms like that before. How interesting. Definitely like little pretty umbrellas.
