One of my favourite books, The Country Diary of an Edwardian Lady by Edith Holden.
Her delicate watercolours and handwritten notes capture the beauty of each season so perfectly 💚🌿💫 #BooksILove #Nature #Illustration
Night walks in Waterford never disappoint 💚💫 #StreetArt #Waterford #Ireland

Gorgeous scarlet waxcaps
#MagentaMonday & #MushroomMonday combined with fabulous scarlet #waxcaps seen in #Cumbria last Friday. Amazing colour! @macrohour.bsky.social #mushrooms #fungi #vitaminN
Two moss covered stumps are all that remain of q=what must have been two large thick trunk trees. The stump in the foreground has some fi=ungi growing on it in amongst the moss.
We can only imagine the trees that used to stand where these two stumps now stand, grave stone sentinels marking the passing of the trees. #ThickTrunkTuesday #Trees #Woods
Happy #ThickTrunkTuesday 🌳💚💫

A bunch of cap and stem mushrooms growing from a decaying log. They are orange. Moss is growing next to them.
I photographed these mush a few months ago during one of our hikes. So beautiful.

A close-up of a yellow and black striped wasp collecting pollen from a vibrant pink flower. The flower has large, soft pink petals and a bright yellow centre filled with pollen-covered stamens. The bee’s body and legs are dusted with yellow pollen as it feeds. The background is softly blurred, emphasizing the details of the wasp and flower.

Can't spot a wee bee for love nor money but I did capture a wee waspy this week. Not as cute, not as fluffy, but ya gotta go with what ya got 😉

Good morning everyone. #TreeOfTheDay no.1267 and a very happy #thicktrunktuesday
A large, ancient tree with a thick, gnarled trunk covered in moss and climbing plants stands in a lush green park. Its wide branches spread outward, filled with vibrant green leaves that filter sunlight, creating dappled light on the ground below. The forest floor is carpeted with ivy, fallen leaves, and small plants. In the background, a person walks along a path near a metal fence, adding a sense of scale to the immense tree. The scene conveys a peaceful, natural atmosphere on a bright day.
Don't do #ThickTrunkTuesday very often but saw this beauty in #HydePark on Sunday and with the wee lady for scale I couldn't resist #photography
Happy #ThickTrunkTuesday 🌳💚💫

Comma butterfly enjoying helianthus
#SundayYellow with a #throwback to 4th October 2023 and a comma enjoying the yellow daisy like helianthus. #vitaminN #butterflies
Tramore today, the wind, the waves, the kind of light that makes you stop and look twice 🌊 #Tramore #Waterford #Ireland
Vivid purple the Amethyst Deceiver is a gorgeous mushroom however its bright amethyst coloration fades with age and weathering, it becomes difficult to identify, hence the common name "deceiver’.
Perfectly purple, Amethyst Deceivers, Laccaria amethystina are looking glorious in the woods! 💜

A fairy ring of Fly Agarics was a wonderful surprise this afternoon. Instantly recognisable, Fly Agarics are so vivid they have an unworldly feel to them and to see so many really did seem magical, straight from the pages of a fairy tale!! 🍄🧚
WOW #FungiFriends! My favourite Amanita spot didn’t disappoint!!! I nearly lost my mind, a whole FAIRY RING of Fly Agarics, some as big as dinner plates!! 🥰🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄🧚
