#95 - Bracken Fern Reflection

The woods were beautiful this morning, even with most of the trees now being bare and the rich Autumn colours giving way to muted Winter hues. Where the leaves were there are now spaces and intricate silhouettes which lie on the water rather wonderfully.

#94 - Green Fungi Rose

Okay, okay, I know it's twice in one week but isn't this worth repeating myself? And I never even noticed it. What a wonderful world we live in.

#93 - Acorn cups in Bank Haircap Moss

I have been admiring all the gloriously green, trailing moss in the woods this Autumn, and then this morning we, the children and I, were hunched down underneath an Oak tree looking at some mushrooms and we found this starry, cushiony moss in between the roots. It was spangled with tiny little acorn cups that had fallen and got caught in it, like little, round flowers.

#92 - Sunlight behind Beech Leaves

I thought the leaves were like stained glass, translucent in the sun. The light illuminates the colours so that they are alive and the dying leaves, radiant.

#91 - Folded Linden Leaves

Not everything makes a dramatic photograph but I am in love with the subtle graduations of colour that make up the autumn tree-scape. This Linden tree hardly changed at all, just faded gently from green to pale yellow and then, almost with a sigh, laid down its heart-shaped leaves. 

#90 - Fungi rose

I never imagined having a favourite fungi but the Trametes versicolor blossoms beautifully on the edges of fallen trees in wavering lines of grey. 

#89 - Leaves holding Sunlight

When the beech leaves are on the edge of dying they curl slightly. Darkening to copper they hold the sunlight, glowing like embers in the woods.
