    Two toadstools and a bulldozer! Who knew they could open up such interesting possibilities? But you are always unique and original with your observations!
    Good luck in the contest.

    Oh I like this! Such a great 'ku; a clear picture with a surprise at the end! How fun to see it in the botanical gardens. UCLA has it's own set of Botanical Gardens... I think i should go take a walk there .
    Great 'ku & g'luck!

    those toadstools have captured your mind!! invasion!!!

    another 'ku on toadstools.. you just made me get stuck onto their image as well.. i feel like drawing one.

    vertical bulldozers... now that's interesting.. i can envision this in slow motion..
    do you know of any architecture that resembles a toadstool? i'd love to see one..

      "do you know of any architecture that resembles a toadstool"...
      at Santa Claus' Village in Merton, Ontario there was a kiosque built to resemble a mushroom...but I fear it's been bulldozed!

        ooh, thanks for letting me know



        aww...

        was it myron's toadstools that did it??? were they jealous of the huge toadstool that suddenly popped outta nowhere?

          My toadstools have become a lovely, calm couple since they pushed up through the earth together. but that bulldozer in the third line could have been the culprit!

          It could well have been his toadstools; they sound powerful!

    Nice set of images here-the toadstools, the eternal struggle to live, and the bulldozer. This is a very meaningful haiku, thank you so much.
