Don't do #ThickTrunkTuesday very often but saw this beauty in #HydePark on Sunday and with the wee lady for scale I couldn't resist #photography

A large, ancient tree with a thick, gnarled trunk covered in moss and climbing plants stands in a lush green park. Its wide branches spread outward, filled with vibrant green leaves that filter sunlight, creating dappled light on the ground below. The forest floor is carpeted with ivy, fallen leaves, and small plants. In the background, a person walks along a path near a metal fence, adding a sense of scale to the immense tree. The scene conveys a peaceful, natural atmosphere on a bright day.

#SundayYellow Does it have to be flowers? I’ve posted two photos, just in case

Creamy coloured rose with a faint pink blush, surrounded by yellow daisies and green foliage

So obviously after no sleep I decided it was Sunday not Saturday. 😂😂 Will try again. We had such a long evening and night with Storm Amy. I thought I’d post this calm Irish #sunrise

The sky exhales, the earth stands still,
and peace returns beneath the hill.

🌅 #photography #Ireland #EastCoastKin

A striking Irish sunrise over a quiet field, with the silhouettes of three trees standing against a vivid sky glowing in layers of gold, orange, and violet. The dark outline of a hill rises to the left, while streaks of soft clouds catch the fading light, creating a peaceful and painterly early morning scene.

Ah that’s super helpful, thank you! I’m just an amateur when it comes to mushrooms, so I really enjoy learning from others. I wasn’t too sure what it was, but the Pluteus suggestion makes a lot of sense, it was growing on very decomposed wood too.

I’m no expert, but I was leaning more toward a waxcap than a Flame Shield, though they do look pretty similar!

Manchán Magan taught us that Irish is rooted in the earth itself, words shaped by bog, river, mountain & wind. 🍃 His passing is a deep loss, but his vision endures: that caring for language is also caring for the land. Go raibh suaimhneas síoraí aige. 🕯️ #ManchanMagan
