Marilima Beach last March, Virac, Catanduanes. Catanduanes is known to have the largest annual rainfall in the Philippines so it's best to visit this place in April to May when it's summer or the dry season in the country. For surfers, however, the months of July to October are the best months.
The common name of this species of fungus that typically appears as a round piece of black coal-lik ball attached to a dying or dead tree trunks and branches is King Alfred’s cakes. This name originates from legend that King Alfred (who ruled in 9th century) was mistaken for a soldier by a peasant woman in the house were he was seeking a refuge after the battle. She asked him to look after cakes baking on the fire but he fell asleep…, well, another name for these fungi are coal fungi. Whether this story is true or not difficult to say because it was first told 100 years after the King lived, but the name sticks to the fungus forever.
The scientific name of this common and widespread saprotrophic fungus is Daldinia concentrica. The genus Daldinia is named in honour of Agostino Daldini, a Swiss clergyman and botanist. The specific epithet ‘concentrica’ is self-explanatory if you look at the image above showing concentric rings of the fungal body. This is where black spores are matured and then driven up to the surface and expelled outside through tiny openings. The concentric rings are thought to reflect seasonal growth like tree rings - so it is likely to be about 12 years old. Majority of trees were planted here in 2000. This fungus, when dry, can be used as tinder to light fires, hence another name the tinder bracket.
This specimen was neatly sliced in half by a chainsaw I think when this ash tree trunk was fell down and cleared of branches; a cut through the branch seen on the left. Massive clearance is taken place in this Community Woodland as part of removal ash trees infected with dieback fungus, as well as general maintenance. Primrose Hill Community woodland.

I was wandering through some of my older macro images and came across this slightly perplexing photograph. It wasn't until I remembered I'd edited it using an older photo processing program long ago.
It's possible that you are familiar with this specific food item if you're a fan of green salads. This is a slice of cucumber presented in an unusual color combination.
Seen at MoMA in Scottsdale, Az.
I'm back north now and will sloooowly be getting back on flickr and round to see your latest, bit by bit.
Looking forward to reconnecting with each of you. :-)

I was redoing an older shot that had this Mutant Gang punk in it, I figured they were such a cutie that they deserved a second look.
Some bread, taken with Ilford B&W film in my old Zenit camera (that has since died) with a Helios 44-2 lens. This was one of the last successful photos with the camera.
With just four hopper at the draw bar, Kankakee Beaverville & Southern's 703 and 704 return from Lafayette, IN and are about to cross the diamond of the TP&W at Sheldon, IL. Less than thirty minutes earlier, the "Tip Up" went west. A meet here would have been icing on the cake!
