Erik - the life forms you've captured are beautiful alright - the moss and the fungi. When the snow melts, there's often a stunning forest floor of star moss, acorn cups, single feathers, and other treasures. Thanks for this reminder! And by the way, could you please give me your opinion of the camera you're using here - Canon EOS 40D. What is the additional lens you've purchased to get the titmouse from a safe distance? Thanks so much as I'm getting closer to making my decision on the SLR of my dreams! Elaine
