The Caterpillar was the first to speak.
`What size do you want to be?' it asked.
`Oh, I'm not particular as to size,' Alice hastily replied; `only one doesn't like changing so often, you know.'
`I DON'T know,' said the Caterpillar.
Alice said nothing: she had never been so much contradicted in her life before, and she felt that she was losing her temper.
`Are you content now?' said the Caterpillar.
`Well, I should like to be a LITTLE larger, sir, if you wouldn't mind,' said Alice: `three inches is such a wretched height to be.'
`It is a very good height indeed!' said the Caterpillar angrily, rearing itself upright as it spoke (it was exactly three inches high).
`But I'm not used to it!' pleaded poor Alice in a piteous tone. And she thought of herself, `I wish the creatures wouldn't be so easily offended!'
`You'll get used to it in time,' said the Caterpillar; and it put the hookah into its mouth and began smoking again.

This time Alice waited patiently until it chose to speak again. In a minute or two the Caterpillar took the hookah out of its mouth and yawned once or twice, and shook itself. Then it got down off the mushroom, and crawled away in the grass, merely remarking as it went, `One side will make you grow taller, and the other side will make you grow shorter.'

`One side of WHAT? The other side of WHAT?' thought Alice to herself.
`Of the mushroom,' said the Caterpillar, just as if she had asked it aloud; and in another moment it was out of sight.

A mushroom in the boggy soil near Petah Tikva.

Hi Doron,
Excellent macro shot. The low POV which brings the sky into play is fantastic. Well Done!

Very nice DOF, i liked the perspective and the colours too. You have to get waaaay down to take such a picture :-)
Congratulations

Excellent macro shot

Hola Doron, la foto es excelente, muy bien captado cada uno de los detalles, y el titulo me pareció una muy buena elección porque despierta la curiosidad del espectador.

Un abrazo.

I remember watching the show as a child thinking it was such a fun place to go with our imagination.
Thanks for bringing me back to that memory for a moment.

I too like the view up to the sky. Colors are perfect.
