Oh my! This is indeed a fascinating photo! The 1958 year difficult to see, the year my father died.
ReplyDeleteDearest Helen,
DeleteThank you and yes, this is such a unique and excellent photo.
Pieter used to be an excellent photographer and he did develop those black and white prints himself in the dark room. Times have changed.
Sorry about 1958 being the year your Dad passed away; way too early I must add!
Hugs,
Mariette
Hello Mariette and Pieter, Pieter's photographs is perfect in every respect--both photographically and in the interest of its subject. I may have seen such guttation in wild mushrooms--I know I have in green plants. I really ought to get back to nature more now and observe such incredible phenomena, this time with camera in hand!

Dearest Jim,
DeleteYes these are very rare and perfect photos of the phenomena 'Weeping Mushrooms'. No wonder it became the photo of the year.
Nature has all kinds of signs, there are diseases and other signs of lack for nutrition or water to be captured, to explain in a classroom so people will recognize them.
Camera in hand is always an excellent thing, especially for macro images.
Hugs,
Mariette
Wonderful photo. Well done for winning Photo of the Year.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
Dearest Victor,
DeleteYes, that is the best I've ever seen on the subject and very clearly illustrates the symptoms.
Hugs,
Mariette
That is a beautiful capture and I love how the photo is titled. Weeping mushroom :-)
ReplyDeleteDearest Tamago,
DeleteThank you so much! Yes, that is the real name for this kind of disease or symptom.
Hugs,
Mariette
Awesome photo!
ReplyDeleteDearest Anne,
DeleteYes it is and remains forever...
Hugs,
Mariette
This is very interesting and I love the Photo of the Mushroom dear Mariette :)
ReplyDeleteDearest Stevenson,
DeleteIt sure is a very rare photo and an excellent one!
Hugs,
Mariette
Es una fotografía de campeonato. Con las gotitas de lluvia prendidas en su superficie.
ReplyDeleteBesos
Querida Antónia,
DeleteGracias es excelente y desde los años en que Pieter era un fotógrafo activo. Pero estas no son gotas de lluvia sin embargo. Las setas cultivadas en interior también tipo de sudor cuando su metabolismo por alguna razón se acelera. En nuestro libro tenemos una explicación completa...
Abrazos,
Mariette
So very nice
ReplyDeleteDearest Jo-Anne,
DeleteYes, a rare and very nice shot!
Hugs,
Mariette
Beautiful - hope it came with a nice prize!
ReplyDeleteNature often decorates for us - especially early mornings at this time of year.
When I used to walk my granddaughter (now 24!) to elementary school we would look for spider webs glistening with dewdrops. . . . . and of course bunny rabbits. . . . . along the way.
VERY belated congratulations to Pieter. . . . . the thought of working in a darkroom now seems so long ago!
Dearest Mary,
DeleteThank you but no, there was no prize, just the honor.
This is not in nature but inside a commercial mushroom growing room...
Spider webs in nature are pieces of art and glistening in the sun.
Hugs,
Mariette
Very pretty photo, it deserve the honour it got.
ReplyDeleteDearest Sami,
DeleteIt sure is deserving of it!
Hugs,
Mariette
Dear Mariette,
ReplyDeletein 1958 you must hope that the photos which was taken will be ok. Threre was no quick feedback as today in digital times.
Coming from this background, this is an impressive photo
Have a peachful and healty weekend.
Best regards
Bernhard
Dearest Bernhard,
DeleteYes, back then you had no way back as on the next day things would look so different or have disappeared altogether. Now, if a shot does not turn out favorable, you delete and start over, Now we all are so spoiled by being able to select and in no time do things over and better! Back then, this indeed was very impressive. Thank you for the mentions as it means so much more from another photographic fanatic and near professional.
Hugs,
Mariette
