Photographed in the surrounding grounds of the Anchorage Zoo, Alaska.
"The fly agaric (Amanita muscaria) sits on the forest floor in Alaska as if it is waiting to be cast in an Alice in Wonderland movie.
Its recognizable bright red cap dotted with white warts belies their toxic nature. Although the effects vary, experts warn against eating them. In Alaska, fly agaric is generally found around birch or spruce trees and loves the northwest environment."

My love of art and all things beautiful has been a lifelong journey. As a wife, mother, grandmother, and labor and delivery RN I have seen a lot of life, and now I want to share my love of art. My journey back to my art started when my younger sister was diagnosed with acute leukemia, about 8 years ago. It gave us all the opportunity to stop and realize how precious life is, and how we must all make the most of our time on this Earth. I rediscovered painting and drawing, and started pointing my camera at something other than my children and grandchildren! I recently signed up at my local community college to start working on my degree in Visual Arts. This journey is just getting going! I hope you enjoy my selection of pictures...
