Wolves Wild

Medlar fruit, ripening on the ends of the branches of their tree.

Oyster fungus growing at the base of a rotting tree stump in West Park. They have been appearing in the same place for several years now, as the the stump gradually disintegrates.

Welcombe Hills Countrey Park, high ground just north of Stratford on Avon, gives views looking across the river valley to the beginning of the scarp slope of the Cotswolds to the south-west. The Cotswolds, misty on an autumn morning, form the distant horizon in these views.

The same michaelmas daisies as in the previous post, attracting a bee on a sunny autumn afternoon.

Purple and yellow of michaelmas daisies, brightening up gardens when most other plants have long finished their flowering seasons.

Verdigris mushrooms, when they first emerge, the colour on the cap is stronger and continous over the entire cap. Usually fades to something like this after they have been out some time. Only a short while needed if there is heavy rain. I don’t remember ever before seeing ones where the surface of the cap has fragmented, leaving the cap dappled with colour.
