What a year - today's highlight golden scalycap newly emerged in Epping Forest. Pholiota aurivella - alternative suggestions welcome.
Light rays breaking through the clouds shorty after sunrise on the Cornish coast. After leaving the beach at sunrise turned around to see this before getting to the car. Lesson always stay longer than you planned.
La Gomera and its laurel forest - the Canary Islands are not noticeably wet but the laurel forest on La Gomera is fed by clouds rising up from the cold Atlantic Ocean. The forests are old and the mosses which coat the trees are usually saturated with water.
Took a walk along the clyde walkway in Renfrew last night As the sun was starting to set behind me the sky in front of me was going these amazing colours. The Titan crane and Clydebank leisure centre reflecting in the river Clyde
Across the lake at Stourhead. I loved how the sun was catching the cascade of yellowy green branches on this majestic old tree on the island. A very Autumnal scene

A visit today some 3-4 months after the rut last autumn and things have quietened down. This portrait was from a herd of about 50 animals with just 2 bucks.

At last some decent walking weather!

Here I go again. This time with my black backdrop and flash. This one is closer to what I had in my head. And it's been a trial to set up. Set up dominoes, watch them fall down, set them up again, hold breath, shoot, realise you missed them fall, repeat....
Yesterday's version ⬇️

I'd have liked some "motion trails" but that's maybe for another subject, another set up. Or I need thicker air... Meanwhile you are all welcome to pitch in here and offer advice. I'd be grateful.

A view of the temperature inversion in the Ribble Valley this morning. Seen from Pendle Hill looking towards Downham, (I think!).
“Oh what a tangled web we weave
When first we practice to deceive”

I have tried many times to get an image of a labyrinth spider and today the sun shone in the right place and the little fellah sat sunning itself. Many I know call these funnel-web spiders which thank goodness they are not because they are extremely poisonous. Labyrinth spiders are the nice UK variety.
River Thames & Stanford Wharf in the morning mist.
Somewhere between Corringham and Stanford-le-Hope, Essex UK.
