The Chicken (another one!)
These chickens just get everywhere!

It’s a little bit damp here in Banff (or 57,39.9818N 2,32.2851W) this morning.
GPS on the camera. Whatever next? Google Maps not so happy with the Lat and Long numbers however.
I will resist making any kind of comparison with the British Conservative Party
The Decibel or dB is not a unit, it is a ratio and here we see a small and large mushroom and, if we had the time and energy, we could work out the ratio between the big and little mushroom. I’m thinking about a 10 to 1 ratio here: 10:1 but I stand to be corrected. Ultimately…who cares!!!
This unruly little chicken just won’t stay put!
Somebody nibbled my leaf!
If I knew more about botany, I would know what this strange thing is!
A spot of Photoshop neural filter skulduggery…
Yucky stuff stuck to a tree in the woods…
Its funny how bits shrivel up and drop off in later life!!

Always good to turn one of these over…
It’s what happens when you let me run amok with Photoshop’s Neural filter – a dangerous tool in the wrong hands! You’ll find the original unsullied image below…
If you go down to the woods today….
We’ve noticed quite a few trees up here in the Cairngorms that appear to be dying. Disease? Polution? We’re not sure but a pity to see trees dying off…
Still having fun with the new Texture Slider in Adobe Camera RAW. It’s a fun tool and it worked well on the flower below. I love taking photographs of flowers with a very narrow depth of field – it makes the flower pop out of the background. The new texture slider gives the image a bit of extra pop!
The veins (?) in the leaf look like a city roadmap.

I’m trying to work out why this tree root took off on its own journey…..

After the Brexit vote in my own country, the American elections and the forthcoming elections in Europe, I was searching for an image which best summed up our systems of democracy. Here it is. Â The Democracy Tree. Â Well and truly broken.

No idea what these flowers are called but I’m sure the bees like them…
The Yellow Flower
Cute toadstools growing on a rotting log. Â A more inquisitive man would find out what they are called…
The Purple Fungi
I’ve been out and about today taking photographs of fungi at Hemmeland (not far from Amsterdam and a delightfully secret bit of the Netherlands)

Another strange toadstool growing in Hemmeland, Netherlands
The Toadstool
I’m not sure what sort of toadstool this is or, indeed, if it is a toadstool but I saw it growing in Hemmeland, Netherlands, today.
