Flowers and fungi

Sometimes April showers bring May showers, and mushrooms along with flowers. I found these in a school yard yesterday.

Leader of the pack.

Lopsided beauty.

Fenced in.

Standout.

Contemplation.

Broken Symmetry.

All of the photos were made with a 70-200/2.8 lens. Most were shot wide open at f/2.8, except the mushroom was done at f/8 to extend the gritty detail a little further, and "Broken symmetry" at f/5.6 for full sharpness of the flower on the right.
