Now is the perfect time for photographing the woodland floor. One of my favourite leaves are those of the Holly. They are very variable in colour raging from almost black, though browns, gold and turquoise. Next time you pass the evergreen Holly have a look at the fallen leaves underneath. #macro

The rain stopped just in time to allow some good views of Northern Lights in the early hours of this morning. #northernlights #aurora #nightsky

This morning started off with thick fog which looked like it would thin and clear by late morning. This was just downstream of Barnard Castle, Teesdale, County Durham, UK as it began to burn off.

Shafts of light create sun rays which are illuminating the golden autumnal colours on a tree beside a river.

This time last year I watched Comet C/2023 A3 (Tsuchinshan-ATLAS) and the Milky Way arch overhead while listening to the waves break on the beach.

Continuing my autumn photography series of videos, in this one I head out to the woods to capture some landscapes, as well as some more intimate landscapes containing some beautiful fungi.

Autumn is the time of the Rut and the sound of roaring stags echoing around the woods and fields surrounding Raby Castle, Teesdale, UK really is something special.

Latest video. Continuing the autumnal theme, I head out to woodland I have never visited before to see what I can capture. Unfortunately it had been partly felled, but even so I still managed to find a few shots before moving on to try some landscape shots. youtu.be/83zZBDuKdX8?...

In this video I head out to capture some early autumn images in a local woodland. Mist, fungi, spiders, waterfalls and of course autumnal colours, all make for a really nice photo opportunities. #autumn #fall #photography #macrophotography #fungi #landscapephotography youtu.be/6rlUff1EY-c?...

We have some ideal conditions for fungi at the moment in the UK. Not sure of the ID, but possibly one of the Galerina species.

Dunfermline Foodbank is typical in that we need to purchase a van load of food most months to supplement donations. Stocks of food in the warehouse are lower than a year ago as the cost of living crisis hits. If you are able please donate when you buy your grocery shopping @trussellscot.bsky.social

💬 “As the foodbank enters its busiest autumn/winter period, it is vitally important we receive food donations from our community so that we can help those in crisis.
Public food donations to Monmouth's foodbank have fallen by 55% in three years, which meant we had to buy in food last autumn/winter.

Lots of fungi about at the moment. This small black and white fungus looks like the wick of a snuffed out candle, hence the name, Candle Snuff Fungus.

Yesterday we had a rather atmospheric frosty morning in Teesdale with a gentle mist moving through the trees.
