16th November - At Last Some Sun!
Today was very dull and drizzly but, luckily whilst walking the dogs in the wood the sun finally came out for a short while and lit up this tree. Just loved the way it shone on some of the branches.

17th November - Christmas Cactus
As usual, my Christmas Cactii have decided to come out this month instead of next. This particular one has so many flowers, they’ll be none left by Christma.

18th November - Stag’s Horn Fungus
Spotted today in the woods. From a distance, it looks just like little white sticks shooting up from the moss but close-up you can see the shape of the stags horns.

The Gelder rose is always lovely to see in June and July, but the berries really shine out at this time of the year Especially with eh Ivy flowers surrounding them.

20th November - Tiny Mushroom
After today‘s dog walk, decided to do some tidying up in the garden and spotted this tiny mushroom sprouting out of the landscape bark. Small but perfectly formed.

21st November - Beautiful Sunrise
Took Dave to golf this morning and as it was a slight frost the sunrise was lovely over the course so definitely had to be my photo of the day.

What a beautiful sky!!!

It was. But sadly, as happens with a lovely sunrise, by the end of the morning rain came and never stopped with many roads around the village flooding.

22nd November - Puffball Fungi
This year has certainly been one of the best for fungi. Spotted this on our walk today in a hedgerow on the farmland at the back of our home. It was about four inches wide and ready to spout the spores. I was tempted to stab it, it didn’t.

23rd November - New Duck Pond
After the constant rain for the last few days, the canal at Hose is now full and one of the fields by the side of the canal has now become a new duck pond that the birds have taken over very quickly.

You can EAT these??

You can eat the young ones with white flesh. Avoid the older ones. Wait a minute, this looks as it had been written by a cannibal
