Lots of fly agarics have been popping up on the side of the village cricket pitch lately, and it's been quite good to see. I've noticed a lot of people walking past, stopping to take photos of these mushrooms.

Walking around Sherwood Forest in Nottingham, UK was like stepping back in time. It is a popular tourist attraction as you are surrounded by a collection of ancient oak trees, which have been around for

My #wednesdaywalk initiated by @tattoodjay started with me finding a painted pebble that someone had placed in the wall. For people who don't know about painted pebbles or rocks, you paint a pebble (you

Today, we visited the lovely village of Monyash in Derbyshire, UK on a day where the weather was on our side. The village, is near the pretty Lathkill Dale, and gives off an olde worlde charm with its

After days of rain, the sun finally decided to show its face today. It was good to see the sunshine again, so I decided to take a walk up to the village church yard to see what shadows I could find. This

The rain has brought out all sorts of fungi in my area. Everywhere you look, there are different types of mushrooms popping up all over the place. One tree near the village pond has been taken over by

As I made my way to visit an old school friend in the next county, I decided to stop by a wooded area nearby, called Boughton Brake. The wood has a lot of footpaths and tracks that wind their way through

As we've had more rain on and off the past few days, the fungi are still coming through. I stopped to take a photo of this shaggy ink cap growing at the side of the road for @fungifriday by @ewkaw. The

The last few days have been filled with rain, making everything outside wet and soggy. This morning, I woke up to a misty day and decided to take a walk in the forest. I really like being in the forest

Recently, I decided to visit my usual hangout spot, which is an old stone quarry factory that has been derelict for years. Despite the fact that the place is often trashed by local troublemakers, there

If you had asked me what the weather was like yesterday, I would have said sunny and warm. Today, it's cold and misty.

As we set off on our favourite circular walk through the forest, we came across an unusual sight - stinkhorns!

For my #wednesdaywalk initiated by @tattoodjay, we had a walk around the grounds of Wollaton Hall, which is an Elizabethan mansion built in the 1580s.

We recently visited Wollaton Park and Gardens which is situated in the neighbouring county of Nottinghamshire in the UK. As the notice states, it is also home to over 90 red and 120 fallow deer.

This morning, the mist was so thick that I could hardly see in front of me as I drove towards one of my favourite forests.
