Cliff, this set of images is truly magnificent in composition - I keep thinking of tapestry - the colours are so remarkable and diverse and the second photo looks to me like the image of a pink skeletal hand  8)  Each photo has a character all of its own, congratulations once more  ;)

Many thanks Maggi for the extra link.

Robin, your lovely comments make any small effort more than worthwhile ... my thanks once again.

More images to follow this evening.

This topic isn't proving too popular lately ... thought it might mushroom?   :D

Another short walk this morning, this time into Crompton Woods, near Newhey.

Thickly planted, these trees permit little light (or precipitation) and the forest floor was tinder dry in places.  Where lumber had been removed the mosses and grasses had invaded and the ground was sodden and distinctly boggy.  Different fungi thrived in each of these habitats.

Doesn't T29 look just like a slumbering pre-historic monster with a garland round it's neck. Or should I lay off the red wine ;D

Stick to the Australian red stuff that comes in cans David. That won't give you any kind of high or hallucination at all. More likely a belly ache. ???

Cliff, these are magnificent pictures, Incredible that so many different kinds are in so small a space (relatively). We're very thankful for you keen eye and skills with the camera.

Just a few more from my hour or so in Tandle Hill Country Park - I might find a few more later and I may visit the park again if we get some snow!

It is amazing how trees take on such a different personality without their leaves - the way they inhabit their own space growing in a unique way is so cleverly shown in your photos, Cliff - I find these end of year shots at Tandle Hill a lovely closure to the year, before the snow  :)

Ranunculus, your pictures are amazing 8), I love the pictures of the trees cant wait to see the trunks and branches with snow cover. Do you get much snow down there.
It must be lovely to stroll through the trees it looks so peaceful there.

I am in awe - our local wood could never look as good, even if I had your eye for a good picture.
