Another dog walk bonus.
I’ve long wanted to find one of these. It’s an ear pick fungus, #auriscalpiumvulgare that grows on pine cones. In looks a lot bigger in the photo than it actually is, about 1cm tall with the cap about half a cm wide. #ukfungi #pineconefungi

Fantastic autumn sun through the trees this morning. Looks more like spring with the bright greens.
Sun light through beech trees. The sky is blue, the leaves are bright green and there are shadows on the woodland floor in the foreground.

On mornings like this you realise just how many spiders live in the woods 🕸️
#ukspiders #ukwildlife #uknature
Spiders’ webs catching the morning sunlight amongst the trees and undergrowth in a Scottish woodland. I think there at least 10 to be found in the photo.

As the lights go out all over the world, be a shining beacon

It is important everyone knows there is still good out there, and where to find them

The darker it gets, the more you shine

Do not lose your humanity

Amazing what you get to see out walking the dog. Well worth taking the camera and long lens along.
