The breeze hums low as dawnlight spills.
Gold on tidepools, stones and hills.
A lone white tower guards the sea.
The sky in flame and the world set free.

I thought that the flocks of small birds I was seeing on Exmoor yesterday were probably Linnets, but they were actually Reed Buntings. Haven't seen them like that b4. Also 5 Red Kites & male Hen Harrier #UKBirding

A few pictures of the Western Purple Deceiver (Laccaria amethystina-occidentalis), an edible mycorrhizal mushroom that grows with Live Oaks in Napa. Such a stunning shade of purple #mycology

Even on a gloomy day, there are always a few rays of sunshine.

I wish you all a wonderful #Scape Friday 🫶

You see a pier by the sea in the evening light. The scene is dominated by dramatic, dark clouds, through which rays of sunlight break as bright beams of light and illuminate the water's surface. Two shadowy figures sit on the jetty, enjoying the view. Seagulls are in the air and in the water.

Calm sunrise over a still river, with bare trees reflected perfectly in the water and warm orange light glowing through the branches, creating a peaceful and mirror-like scene.

To those who ask me
how many loves I have had,
I say to look into the woods
to see how many traps
my fur is left in 🦊

View from the Torgnon woods, italian Alps. From an autumnal larch forest, the nearby valleys can be seen under a cloudy sky.

I'm so glad I stayed long enough for the sun to burn off the low cloud at sunrise in this ancient woodland in the south of England.

When the light cast into the thick autumnal air, it lit up the interior colours so perfectly.

Now that migration and work has slowed down. I’m moving back into my photo editing era 💅

Gonna try and commit to pushing out more photos

I have a back log of 349 photos I’ve “liked” which indicate it’s passed my quality check for edits…

Here we go!

Mycena tenerrima from Pacific County, Washington. This tiny and widespread Mycena is in Mycena sect. Sacchariferae due to the powdery cap texture, stem with long setae and disc at the stem base.
