Can't believe we let that gigantic fungus pass uncommented! Excellent stuff Sits - did you check if it's edible?
Meanwhile some nice scenery from a mundane walk in Formby pine woods over the festive season.
Red squirrels everywhere at this time of year, coming close enough to contemplate whether Mrs Trlb's glove might be hiding peanuts.
The pines thin out as you head seawards
Then it's just dunes down to the rapidly eroding coast - first looking north towards Southport, and then south back towards the Mersey.

Very good. As are all those photos peeps.
And TrL, no I didn't. We've got mushrooms coming up all over the lawn at present, and similarly I would absolutely never risk it, even if I had the book.

Loving the ice floes - only ever seen that in Budapest, and in 1981 when it was cold and calm enough in West Cumbria for the sea to freeze as it came in over the icy sand. With hindsight, possibly not the wisest night to be out on the shore at 4am setting baited lines for cod, but when you're 16 you think you're immune to weather.

Tons of fog on the water today, as the air temperature rose over 15C
FF and I asked this kid named Lloyd to take a photo. I think he’s got a future.

Obviously not a photographer, and have even lost the ability to paste images on this damn phone it would seem, but these are Howth Head, and for a prosaic day trip spot from Dublin I had a quasi religious experience out on the paths today. Not really, but it was a fine day with some great views, and loads of friendly dogs saying hi.

We've been in the UK visiting our daughter and the old "Mums" and scattering my brother's ashes; now having a few days vegging out in Mauritius on the way back to Oz. As you do.
We've become fixated by the swimming pool in our resort which has very slight echoes of the Penguin Pool at Regent's Park Zoo. I've now banned myself from attempting any more angles. Even though these are fundamentally the same one:
Cropping allowance used heavily.

Thanks but that's too flattering. The only skill is the cropping, which arguably is cheating anyway. The pre-cropped photos have all sorts of periphery: bits of foot, sun lounger, palm tree, terrace etc. they're taken with an intention to trim, and the reject pile is substantial.
Plus of course being on hols I have the luxury of time.

Some would say that unless you believe adjusting for focus and exposure is cheating neither is cropping. Everyone has their own photo-purist criteria, mine begins at the point of photo-montage for example, but there's nowt wrong with that either, for me it's just something different from the image-in-the-moment. Almost all photos are cropped, it doesn't degrade their power, in fact it usually enhances it.
