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.

Happy Friday.
A dead leaf, backlit by the sun. The frosty edge of a dead leaf. Candle snuff fungus starting to grow on a tree stump. Frosty grass, backlit leaf, blue sky, bare trees.

Amusing myself on a rainy day.

I like the rain more than he does.

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.

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.

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.
