This picture was taken in Dartmoor at a place called "Becky falls", which is also an ancient woodland walk. Countless water falls over rocks and very scenic. A great place to spend half a day but make sure to wear hiking boots if you choose the red route as it is very hard going.

Taken today at Duncton near Chichester. Weather was cold after the long dry spell with thunder, lightning and torrential rain. Just a single shot of this beautiful but deadly plant. There was a lot more Foxgloves behind me in the forest but this one caught my eye because of the gate as an added feature.
Foxglove (Digitalis purpurea) is a poisonous plant that is possibly fatal if ingested by humans, cats, dogs and horses. The poisonous ingredient in foxglove is cardio glycosides, which can cause a heart attack. Also found in oleander, cardio glycosides most often are fatal for children and the elderly, who may also experience long-term side effects.
So remember next time you are out in the forest and you are hungry don't eat this one.

While Ballintemple is a Nursery for trees run by the semi-state body, Coilte, it is open to visitors and walkers and part of its delight are the beautiful views of the Blackstairs and the Wicklow Mountains, it has gorgeous forest trails.
The beech forest of Beaumont-le-Roger. The fence is not only to prevent the animals of the forest eating the crops, it is also to keep people away. There are gates at footpaths which allow the inhabitants of the hamlet to walk to the town centre of Beaumont-le-Roger. Signs prohibit to deviate from this path.
