“I took this picture on October 12, 2021, while on a walk around Markgrafs Lake. I was out walking around with my toddler. When we stopped at the shoreline to look at the water, I saw a few unique mushrooms and decided to take a few photos with my iPhone,” says Baylie DeLong, photographer of Markgrafs Mushroom, which won second place in the Wildlife & Nature category in the Focus on Woodbury photo contest. “I really enjoy taking photos of nature. I got my first camera when I was 14 and fell in love with photography. Nature photography has always been my main interest [and] focus. I really like to capture the simple and natural beauty that’s around us all the time.”
