Mainly taking photos of small things that catch my eye while walking with the dog. Was a physicist long ago. Sometimes play with threads and paints. Have a slight book habit.

Amusing myself on a rainy day.
Small pages with torn edges and watercolour sketches of dead leaves: sycamore; oak with acorn; beech with seed case.

I like the rain more than he does.
A wet dog in a raincoat, sitting on dead leaves.

Good morning. I’m now sitting inside with coffee and cake after a wet walk.
A little mushroom in damp woods. A chunky mushroom, wet and slightly nibbled. An empty acorn cup with dead leaves and moss. A clump of green lichen.

A leaf.
A piece of paper with torn edges. There’s a watercolour sketch of an oak leaf, with the actual leaf below it.

Trying out my new paper. With help.
A partial watercolour sketch of an oak leaf, with a real leaf lying next to it, a small palette of paints, and a shaggy brown dog looking as if he’s doing the painting.

My back’s playing up again, so slow walking and small camera.
Sun shining through autumnal trees. Ribbons of lichen hanging from a hawthorn tree. A fly on gorse. A mushroom with bracken.

Success. (Well as far as acquiring the paper goes. The painting may take a little longer.)
A dog sitting by the fence at the edge of a harbour. A young woman leans over a tank, in the process of making paper. Piles of assorted hand made papers. A small stash of papers that I bought. White, pale blue-grey, with flowers, blue.

We had a short walk, to minimise the muddiness for social calls later this morning.
A dog wearing a raincoat stands in a leafy lane. A little fingery fungus growing on a mossy stump. A gnarly white fungus whose name I can’t remember. A chunky pale mushroom.

I just reached my holiday cottage in time for a very short walk before dark.
A leaf-covered path between almost bare trees. A brown dog walks on the grass at the side of the path. A path through gorse, heather and bracken. In the distance is water, and the clouds have a hint of pink from the setting sun. A shiny brown mushroom. Two big frilly beige mushrooms with trees in the background.

Good morning.
A parasol mushroom in front of a shaggy brown dog. A clump of red-brown mushrooms on a tree stump, being sniffed by a shaggy brown dog. Two puffballs, catching the sun. A purplish mushroom with a dead leaf on it, viewed from above.

These are what I found. The red one is what I remember using later in her life, when she lived with us and I was a teenager. (Norah was her younger sister.)
Two handwritten parkin recipes, labelled as coming from Norah. A handwritten parkin recipe, “Mother’s.”

Good morning. (My lower back is improving slightly.)
A little forest of slender stemmed mushrooms. Two chunky purple mushrooms in grass. (Wood blewitt - Collybia nuda?) A larger purple mushroom, with assorted small plants, dead leaves, and a medium sized mammal. A little parasol mushroom, rather ragged, next to a beech seed case, in grass and miscellaneous small plants.

Good morning.
An aging mushroom among dead leaves, faded so only faint traces of its youthful blue are left. A skeleton winged tree seed resting among grass and dead leaves. A little matchstick of a baby mushroom. Yellow birch leaves, getting ready to fall.

Happy Monday. (Mine’s a bit subdued because my back is playing up.)
Two mushrooms on tall slender stalks. A shiny blue mushroom in mulch and fallen leaves. A sycamore seed on a dead leaf. Assorted lichen on a twig.

From this morning…
Slimy blue mushrooms. A parasol mushroom in grass. Secret message in a yellow-edged green stripe on a dead leaf. A sprig of beech leaves fading from green to copper.

Good morning.
Round, light chestnut coloured fungi on a dead tree stump. An ethereal mushroom in bright green grass. A pre-ethereal mushroom (and a couple more lined up behind). Striated bark on a cherry tree, with lichen.

Snapped while waiting for my car to be serviced.
A yellow leaf with water drops, lying on brown fallen leaves. There’s a smaller light brown leaf on top of the yellow one.

Can any knitters identify this stitch? (It’s a shawl by Susie Haumann, but the shawl pattern is in a print book in Danish, so I was wondering about improvising).
A patch of black lacy knitting.

Good morning.
A water drop hanging near the tip of a blade of grass. Distant trees and sky are refracted through the drop, upside down. A wet pink flower. A wet green seed head. The shape of a tree in green on a yellow-brown fallen leaf.
