But a Madonna & Child would always refer to the Blessed Virgin Mary and the Fruit of Her Womb. However, I don't see any reason for anyone to get upset about using the term to refer to the picture, after all mushrooms, toadstools and assorted fungi and sporey things are also creations of the Good Lord and deserving of his all-embracing love and the prayers of the faithful, and no doubt the Holy Mother in her merciful wisdom intercedes for them and other fruits of the forest floor just as she does for the descendants of tree-dwelling apes.

Re: PESO Madonna and child
The original meaning of "my lady" is now considered "Archaic." I don't think it ever meant "mother." Today, it means either the Virgin Mary or the singer who claimed to be "Like Virgin."

The name of the photo was inspired by this facebook note about it: I'm usually not inclined toward sentimental motherly stuff, but this photo by Larry Colen just makes me go "Awww!" No disrespect was meant. "Madonna and child" is a commonly used title for "mother and child" pictures, granted, it's usually one particular mother, but madonna just means mother, doesn't it? > > Boris > > -- > PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List > PDML@pdml.net > http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net > to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow > the directions. -- Larry Colen l...@red4est.com sent from i4est -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.

I just Googled "madonna mushroom" and nothing came up, so maybe I'm off-base there. In any event, Google "Madonna"; the first seven items have to do with the entertainer, and only two items on the first page don't pertain to her, those being a university and a hospital. The second Google page is all about the entertainer. So, I'm not sure who's being offended by cavalier use of the word Madonna? I think the title's fine, as it looks like the larger mushroom is protecting the other, much like the Blessed Mother protects her flock... (oops, better not go there) ;-) Seriously, a very nice photo.

Neat. You could also call it "growth has reached the ceiling" or "growth ceiling" for short. Beautiful catch anyway.
