Still not getting many photo-ops, but there’s a few subjects still pending from before I broke my knee. These long horn cattle were grazing on Christ Church meadow in Oxford, back when it was still summer.

This picture once again from the same walk on Sunday. It was a beautiful sunny November morning, and so cold early on, with lots of dew on the grass and other vegetation. This mound of moss on the top of a wall caught my eye, and was at a convenient height for a close-up.

More posts when I have the chance – there’s a lot of medical appointments in the near future.

Still on the same walk last Sunday. These white mushrooms were growing by a grassy area near Bantock Park. I wasn’t confident enough on my crutches to try to get any closer for a better look.

Another sighting on the same walk as the earth star. this one’s a suede bolete. It was growing under a tree just a little further along the road.

Back on my feet, with the support of a fancy splint and two crutches at the moment. It’s still leaving me a bit limited in the photography I can manager. Only on the phone’s camera, only standing up straight, and only if there’s someone else at hand to hold at least one crutch while watching that I don’t fall over.

Despite all that, I did manage a few fungi shots on a walk this morning. This collared earth star was lurking under the hedge of a front garden we passed.

There’s going to be some delay on posts here. The most recent posts have been from a short holiday early in August.

Since then, a series of medical events have got in the way.

I had cataract surgery, which has left me with a different focus in each eye until the second one is done soon.

Then I had a heavy fall, broke my kneecap and messed up the tendon. Until my leg heals I won’t be able to get out to take any pictures, or even to get to the PC to upload the few sets which are currently in hand. Hope it won’t be long before I can get posting again.
