I'm heading east for the weekend. It looks like another cloudless weekend. I'm feeling pretty unlucky this year. I haven't been able to get out there as much as in previous years, and every time I've been out there, I couldn't bring the clouds with me.
It's a weird thing to be grumpy about. But here I am. Grumpy about a clear sky.

What can I say. A nice place for a stroll on Sunday afternoon and a brilliant place for fungi. It has some lovely trees.
The clock tower of the Launceston Grammar School catches the last rays of the setting sun. The school was established in 1846 in the heart of Launceston itself, but moved to this Mowbray campus in 1924.
You'd think someone at Cox corporate would have caught this on their mass-billing envelopes. Well, then again, maybe not.

A healthy one. Oddly there were far fewer than the last few years and yet the very rare Powdercap Strangle appeared for the first time. The Parasite grows up through the stem and puts out a purple mushroom cap. It is much smaller than the host .

Photos sent off for ID UPDATE Less than 40 records for Staffordshire so a good spot.
This survived several days of below freezing temperatures. I took a pic of the same fungus a week before and left the cap there.
The moss is Springy Lawn Moss and it makes this a lovely bouncy bit of grass to walk on.

Hawkshead Grammar School in Hawkshead, Cumbria, England was founded in 1585 by Archbishop Edwin Sandys, of York, who petitioned a charter from Queen Elizabeth I to set up a governing body. The early School taught Latin, Greek and sciences, including arithmetic and geometry. Although the School closed in 1909, the building functions today as Hawkshead Grammar School Museum and is open to the public.
Notable former pupils included William Wordsworth.
Murphys Grammar School is California’s oldest school building in continuous use as a school. Built in 1860 for $4000, it has two rooms. The entire building is 40'x60' which means it cost about $1.50/sf to build back then.
Dr Albert Michelson attended this school and later won America’s first Nobel Prize in Physics in 1907 for his work in determining the velocity of light, which later aided Einstein’s development of his relativity theories.
