Gosford walk

The dogs and I hadn't visited Gosford for several weeks, which we did on Friday and, as always, there was plenty to enjoy as the gardens move into autumn.
This mushroom is Coprinus comatus, the shaggy ink cap, lawyer's wig, or shaggy mane.  It can be eaten, cooked, when it is very young and still snowy white.  The inside of the mushroom is a wonderland of colour and design.
There is talk of a bitterly cold winter ahead.  Certainly there are plenty of berries on the trees, and I think I would put Mother Nature's intelligence ahead of any other, so probably a good time to stock up on bird food because it will be needed when the ground is hard iron, and water like a stone.

Are any other IAVOM bloggers who use Blogger having the same problems? I have tried, three times, to contact Blogger through their 'Help' prompt and received no feedback or contact whatsoever. This post is using the old 'Legacy' format, which no longer permits any kind of formatting of text, and so after four attempts I have finally manage...

Early morning light

There have been some cracking early morning skies this week.  The sunrise has generated a strong rose gold light which has been picked up not only in the clouds but also through the silver-white grasses around the edge of the golf course. I always marvel at the clouds.  Constantly changing, formations that have never been seen before, never to be seen again.
