A rusty bracket fixed to the river wall below Tilbury B power station, with a slightly less rusty length of chain that I assume retained something which is no longer there, leading me to believe the bracket and chain, both, have failed in their (probably only) purpose.

Worse, the power station is no longer there, having served its purpose...

Unless it's an art installation ?

This hemlock varnish bracket fungus is growing on an old growth eastern hemlock tree that has died recently. The invasive hemlock wooly adelgid insect has killed most of the hemlocks in our region of Virginia.

We saw this on our walk today. Lubards Farm, Rayleigh, Essex.

Help in identifying is appreciated.

CSX 500, the "Spirit of Grafton," leads empty grain train G403 north past the signals at the south end of Grand Blanc siding. The cloudy day provided the chance for a non-backlit shot of a train here.

Large bracket or shelf fungi are common in mature forests. Some of their fruiting bodies may grow for many years on the trunks of living or dead trees. Their upper surface is leathery or woody. Like the boletes, they have pores on their undersides. When conditions are favourable, those brackets that grow from one year to the next produce a layer of new tubes on their lower surface, from which spores are released.

Took a walk in the woods today. A beautiful day completely alone on the trail. Would have been perfect if my thoughts had stayed home. Congaree Creek Heritage Preserve, Cayce, SC near Columbia

Seen on the Italian poplar pictured in the previous image. I haven't reached any conclusions about the identity of this one.

Example posted for Aaron Sneary, but anyone is free to rip this off. It's not mine originally; a guy at the local Lego store showed this to me a while back, and I wouldn't be surprised if someone else has used it before.

 

This is actually really effective, probably the tightest four-way SNOT technique I know of (other than the Travis Brick, of course). As you can see, the minimum span of the structure is 2 studs, 1 plate (12Lu, or exactly the height of two bricks) in each dimension.

 

The gap in the center is almost exactly the diameter of a standard rod, which is a good way to attach it to other structures. By "almost" I mean "not quite", but the discrepancy is so minor it's close to the tolerance in between bricks, and barely visible to the eye. Tight, though, as in PC-on-PC tight.

I'm really enjoying these misty mornings that create a sort of Blair Witch feeling in the middle of the woods. woooooooo!!!

I'm trying to put together a SNOT reference. Details on this technique can be found here.

Love the variety of colours these come in.

Took a walk in the woods at my house today.

Best one I have ever found. Taken in Great Grondra Wood, lower Wye valley.

‘MAKING THE LITTLE THINGS COUNT.’

 

With this sinister ‘big thing’, Covid-19, affecting our lives right now, it's never been a better time to start noticing some of the little natural wonders during permitted, restricted visits outdoors. Awesome finds, (as shown in the image), provide joyful little distractions that can uplift the spirit during this crisis.

 

I visited Cloud Wood, a magical place, before Government lockdown began. Apart from finding the Scarlet Elf Cups I’d hoped for, I came across a fallen branch with Blushing Bracket fungus growing from it. The fruiting bodies were beautifully aged with rich orange and red-brown tones on their textured surfaces. It was when I looked at their undersides that I made the awesome discovery of the pore structures. What incredible natural patterning, and just waiting to be found that day!

 

The predominantly 'closed slit' pores would have been creamy-white initially, yet if bruised would have turned a deep pink colour. This characteristic accounts for the common name, Blushing Bracket.

DIY Flash Bracket

 

Ever wish for more flash power or faster flash cycle times through your umbrella?

Don’t have $100 to spend on the Lastolite TriFlash adapter? Nothing wrong with Lastolite products. They are very well made, but a student or beginning photographer may not have the extra cash for it.

  

If you already have a couple of extra cold shoes in your collection, you can spend about $10 for a 6 inch mending plate and a couple of 14/-20 bolts, nuts, and washers and make your own.
