Tomorrow we will find out who will be leading the opposition in the UK. Dithery Dave has waded in but as he has five years to convince the electorate he knows what he is doing I don’t know why he bothered; perhaps he hopes it will save him answering awkward questions on matters that are his concern and responsibility.
I’m not getting many pictures but here are few for the weekend.
WET BRACKEN.
FIRST LIGHT IN CLINK FOREST.
Yesterday I went out macroing, it’s been a bit dry for fungus but there are still a few around.
I think this is Artists Fungus. Ganoderma adspersum.
Slime Mold. I am going to stop trying to time lapse this stuff. I have carried it back to the van and given it a porridge oat to eat and it always dies. I’ll have to look it up and see if there are instructions on how to cultivate and care for it.
The Sheep Ticks are a real pest at the moment, the dogs are covered after every walk as are my jacket and trousers. I was brushing them off and realised I have never taken a picture of one that isn’t engorged with blood. This is what they look like before they have dined.
They are not as revolting in this state. Enjoy your weekend, I am set up for both video and time lapse in case the weather is good enough for Barley harvesting.

Love that first shot :O]
ReplyDelete(hugs to the pups)
Thanks R.Mac.
DeleteReally like the image of the light piercing through the forest canopy. I don't seem to see much bracken these days people are rather keen of hacking every last bit down before it becomes a pain, shame really.
ReplyDeleteI can only see Corbyn possibly being a good temporary leader in opposition whilst Labour sorts it's policy/accountability and direction before the next election, maybe I'm being as harsh to Corbyn as some are you bracken afterall they both have a prehistoric feel about them lol....have a good weekend.
Sorry "are you bracken" should've been "are to bracken" and deleted duplicate post, pub lol
ReplyDeleteDouglas, time will tell with Corbyn but I am sick of our MPs being vertual clones of one another.
DeleteLots of bracken here.
Do you know, I honestly couldn't care less about the Labour leadership. I'm all politicked out.
ReplyDeleteLovely photos.
Frances, I didn't know but do know how you feel.
DeleteNice set of pics. I like the first one -- just leaves and droplets.
ReplyDeleteThanks John. I ought to have stopped and played for longer but the dogs had shot off annoying deer.
DeletejYes I go to the first with drops, beautiful.
ReplyDeleteBas, it's a bit different for me.
DeleteThe first two images, and the second fungus are my favourites, Adrian.
ReplyDeleteAs far as UK creatures are concerned, there was only one that I had a phobia about, and that was rats. However, ticks are now creeping in there too, so I didn't much like being reminded of them with your images! ;-}
Best wishes - - - - Richard
Richard, I don't usually kill insects but tick are the exception. I brush them onto a sheet then spray the little buggers.
DeleteThe forest shot is wonderful! And... It's not like the UK has a monopoly on tiresome politicians!
ReplyDeleteTa Bill. Politics seems to attract morally bankrupt liars.
DeleteI hope that's the first time you've ended up in clink Adrian.
ReplyDeleteIt is John, I've been lucky.
DeleteNice photos (well...the ticks kinda gave me the creeps). At least you don't have the line up of goofballs running for president that we have here in the US.
ReplyDeleteThanks Linda.
DeleteI am not too sure that there is much to choose.
Esa primera luz de la mañana, me gusta ;)
ReplyDeleteTus bichos tienen una gran paciencia contigo Adrian ;)))
Buen fin de semana.
Un abrazo.
Sà Laura, la luz era buena ayer por la mañana.
DeleteLos insectos están bien entrenados.
I hope it's good for combining as I'd like to see what you do for photos. Will they let you on the combine?
ReplyDeleteRed, I have been on it but the vibration is a problem for video. Heavy rain is forecast for today. I'll see what I can do.
DeleteThe light playing on the fern with droplets of water - stunning photo.
ReplyDeleteLynda, as is usually the case I think it could have been better.
