Three different views of the New Forest UK 1) autumnal colours in a Beech/Oak Copse 2) the long, road along which far too many drivers use unsuitable speeds considering that wildlife cross them, often with no warning and 3) a path through stands of Silver Birch after rain

Walking through the woods admiring and photographing the autumnal nature of the place over the weekend when first one Fallow Deer crossed the path, and once you see one you know there will be more, 6 at least.

One scruffy looking New Forest 'Stumpy' a Shetland I assume. Quite often you can come across a small herd of this breed together. Other times, like here, an individual attaches itself to a family group of full size New Forest Ponies.

The Lady of the Woods the very beautiful Silver Birch here standing proudly, alone, on a Bracken covered slope with the sun falling directly on her. Leaves glowing yellow in autumnal splendour.

These 4 images are designed to be stitched together to form a panoramic shot of this small area of grass and marsh between mixed woodland on the right (out of shot) and the Avon Water River on the left behind the row of trees. Bluesky doesn't like panoramas 😳

If you know as we do, that you're far more likely to be treated by a migrant than stood behind one in a queue - then why not attend our exciting event next month?
Migrants are NOT TO BLAME for the NHS crisis - the reasons for that sit squarely with successive govts.

This follows on from my woodland walk yesterday expecting autumnal colour in the trees but not finding it so deciding to try my hand at ICM. I do occasionally having studied it quite extensively but I am almost always disappointed in the results. These were 2 keepers out of a slew of binned images.

Continuing the wet flower theme, on the left, dressed in purple, we have a doubled Daisy. With many petals to catch the drops of water. On the right the seed head of Clematis, which look pretty anyway, but like this, glinting in the sun, quite gorgeous.

After the rain overnight yesterday my camera took a walk round the garden and found many lovely things, flowers, to photograph.
Here the pale ping Kaffir Lily and the deeper colour with a yellow heart of Cosmos.

A Shield Bug on a pink flower and covered in rain drops. I saw this, fortuitously, while photographing flowers. What a pretty find.

A pair of macro shots from earlier in the year on the theme of Purple. The first is one of my favourite (this is awkward really as I have so many favourites) wild flowers a lover of moist places and a 'wild' Wallflower, with Hoverfly, lover of the opposite

I can't recall now if I mentioned that I had a scheduled hand operation to sort out a previously failed Dupuytren's operation had been cancelled. News flash it has, as of this morning, been uncancelled again and is now on for tomorrow. If I go quiet, this is the reason ☺️.

This first on I have absolutely no ideas and I have never seen one like it before. The second is I think Honey Fungus again doing a fine job of killing this Birch Tree and the last is a small group of Russulas, this one is easy for me to remember 😂 though not all Russulas are red 😊.
