This is the unimproved grassland at Ashton Court, complete with Dufy clouds today - hosts orchids, fungi, a profusion of wild flowers which is partially fenced off in the summer months for the skylarks, festivals and events don’t happen up here but lower down the hills of this estate.

Clouds in a blue sky over a flat grassed plateau with shrubs full of mistletoe.

Another wax cap snap, a white one, gills fraying as it ages

Fairy fingers, clavaria fragilis, in more or less the same spot I find it year after year. Delicate white thin strands of fungi growing straight up in the grass

How y'all doin?

Here's a fake Kodak Aerochrome view of Walter Peak from the Moke Lake road. Tahuna Queenstown above Whakatipu Waimāori, Lake Wakatipu

View across pine tress in a valley, across a lake to a mountain range in the distance in the middle of summer sans snow. Warm teal almost cloudless sky above. The trees are reds & pinks mimicking inferred light that is captured on the now defunct Kodak film stock that captured infrared light. The only film stock that still exists is hundreds of US dollars & expired, so I'm not wasting my money on that, when geeks have made photoshop formula & actions to recreate the same look free. Not to everyone's taste as it doesn't look natural (unless you're a creature that sees in infrared), & I bloody hated it when I first saw it, not a complete fan of it.

Happy 3 year anniversary to this picture! It was a marvellous day and this was a definite highlight. (Sorry I've posted this photo a lot before, but I love it!).

#Scotland

Moody day with ominous skies above a mountain with a little snow on the top. Below is a wonderful pinkish scree slope, with orange autumnal colours of the landscape in the valley. A magical patch of sun illuminates a section across the base of the mountain - glowing like gold!

Sorry, more stupidly colourful northern lights from my recent trip to #Iceland. If you look closely you can just see the comet - had no idea it'd managed to sneak into my shots!

#AuroraBorealis

Mainly pink and green northern lights sweeping across the sky. At the horizon are a few lights and clouds. The comet is just visible in the bottom half on the left!

Cat’s Whiskers (Orthosiphon aristatus)

This photograph showcases the delicate white blossoms of the Cat’s Whiskers plant (Orthosiphon aristatus) against a lush, dark green background of broad, heart-shaped leaves. The flower spikes are adorned with numerous slender, elongated white stamens extending outward, resembling delicate whiskers—hence the plant’s common name.

These “whiskers” are tipped with tiny purple spots, adding a subtle accent to the soft white petals clustered along the central spike. The plant’s long, arching stems are dotted with small, serrated green leaves, creating a graceful curve leading to the blooms. Cat’s Whiskers is notable for its medicinal uses in traditional Asian remedies, where it is prized for kidney and urinary health benefits.

Its striking, whimsical appearance, combined with its useful properties, has made it a popular choice for gardens and natural medicine alike. The soft textures and intricate shapes of the flowers make them appear almost ethereal against the vibrant, textured foliage, capturing the viewer’s attention with both beauty and botanical intrigue.

We did this thing a few years back. It started as a historical recreation inside an old 14th century building until we started hearing some noises that came from inside the old prison cell and we couldn't find the light switch...👻

Got a hot tip this morning that a pod of Humpbacks were in close to shore in #SantaBarbara but I didn't have time to hang around. Did see some Dolphins from the Wharf though.
