I am just an enthusiastic photographer living in the beautiful Scottish Borders, where I simply enjoy my hobby photographing the countryside.Most of my images are taken in and around the Tweed Valley, sometimes venturing out to explore other beautiful parts of Scotland and over the Border south on rare occasions

Hints & Tints of Autumn, Fungi & Fairy Rings

A walk along the Tweed from the Toll Wood
One of those blustery days that promises rain
Luckily we were out and back before the downpour

This is a beautifully carve seat from a tree trunk in a shady spot in Plora Woods, Walkerburn


The lower track which leads to Innerleithen Golf course

As it fell onto a Beech sapling

Across the Tweed, Taken from Windy Know
One of those days when you think the sun will never get through 

Hay Lodge Park, Peebles

Beside Leithen Water just past the picnic area
Don't tell anyone about the Faries

Brambles

Are they Edible???

Fallen leaf caught on the trunk of an old tree

Plenty of Fungi in Lindinny Woods
but I didn't spot any Fairies this time


 Any one fro Breakfast....These are Edible


The Porcelain Mushroom, Oudemansiella mucida, is sometimes also known as the Poached Egg fungus - a reference to the white of the egg rather than the yolk, of course!
This fungus is weakly parasitic upon beech trees, and on breezy days in autumn it is not unusual to see what appear to be tiny parachutes falling from high branches after the fungi have been dislodged by the wind.
