7 Dec: Legend tells of a bird with a broken wing who begged each tree for shelter from the cold. All the trees refused; only a fir tree offered it sanctuary. For this kindness the Frost King decreed that the North Wind should never blow away its leaves in winter. #FolkloreSunday

I can’t resist posting another photo of Aseroe rubra (Anemone Stinkhorn). This was the largest specimen I found and nicely shows the remains of the ‘egg’ it emerged from. Surrey 4/12/25 #fungi #FungiFriends

A brick wall provides the perfect subject for testing optics!
Particularly image distortion and edge to edge sharpness.
Four of the best, but which one is which?
The four contenders are Kowa, Leica, Swarovski Optik and ZEISS, but not necessarily in that order........

Intercropping means better harvests! 🥬 🌱
Planting kohlrabi and lettuce together maximizes space. Fast-growing lettuce provides quick ground cover, suppressing weeds, while slower kohlrabi matures. This diversity boosts soil health and reduces pest pressure. #Intercropping #Sustainable #Gardening
