It doesn't matter where we wander on our various walks - though it is good, even after four years here, that we can still find a track which we haven't explored before - but each walk is always made by our finding something new, something different, something slightly spectacular. So coming across....
....these little pale green beauties made yesterday's walk a little special. Each 'flower' is less than 10mm across and there was just one patch of them, not more than half a metre in diameter.
It only took a few moments on the internet to find what they may be - one of the pixie cup lichens. And, to add to our pleasure, nearby we found....
....this specimen of orange peel fungus, something we have come across before but not so perfect and, somehow, so incongruous, sitting by the side of the path as if it had just been dropped there.
