Leaves of a maple in a garden hedge, showing a range of rich, vivid autumn colours.

Yellow stagshorn is a common fungus which grows on wood, sometimes on deeply buried roots. It feels slimy when damp, but more orange than yellow when dry, as here.

Yellow cracked boletes (also know as suede boletes or brown and yellow boletes) growing on a grassy bank under birch and conifer, overlooking the ring road.

Couple of narrowboats moored at Brewood. A pair of dogs wandering between the backs of the two boats seemed to start and stop barking in unison at random intervals.

Meadowsweet and yarrow flowering by a canal recently. Yarrow’s flowering season runs from summer to late autumn, but meadowsweet’s is supposed to be over by August.

Views from Sedgley Beacon, looking more or less north towards Wolverhampton city centre and south-east towards Birmingham.
