Amidst the hush of a fog-draped forest, two boletes rise from a bed of emerald moss, their caps weathered and warm. A snail, tiny and deliberate, crawls along a thin stem, its path a fragile thread connecting earth and sky. The blurred yellow leaves above hint at autumn’s gentle arrival, while the soft bokeh frames this quiet moment of coexistence. It’s a scene where stillness speaks volumes—of patience, of life’s small wonders, and the silent dialogue between fungi, mollusk, and the wild.
