The Dried Dead Leaves
It was the colour that caught my eye..
The Toilet Seat Growth (today’s question)
We were up in the Scottish hills this morning where a number of trees have been cut down (to allow others more space to grow we think). We noticed this strange wooden-like growth (shaped like a toilet seat) growing around the top of the tree stump. Appropriately brown! We’re not quite sure what causes this growth. It is solid and is not some kind of fungus. We noticed the ‘toilet seat’ on several tree stumps. What are these growths? That question has got us stumped too. Anyone know the answer?
The Old and Twisted Tree
Old, bent and twisted – a bit like the photographer who took this photograph!
The Andy Capp’s Hat Fungi
For those people who remember Andy Capp and his creator Reg Smythe. The fungus is the right shape for Andy’s cap!

The Dying Trees
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…

The Soundscape Library (Soundscape 9) – Hemmeland Woods + Dog!
Moral: never take a dog with you when you are recording soundscapes!
Please click on the Soundcloud link below, close your eyes and join me for a walk in the woods at Hemmeland – a wooded area close to Monnickendam, Noord Holland, Netherlands.
Hemmeland is a great place to see nature, picnics, sunbathing and for dog walks. At Hemmeland you’ll find a mixture of wildlife, flowers, plants, trees, beaches and much more. Â There was a northeasterly wind today blowing at between 10-15 Knots. You’ll hear quite a lot of noise generated as the wind blew through the treetops. Â You’ll also hear the dog sniffing around.
There’s not too much about Hemmeland on the Internet but you can look at my photographs of Hemmeland by clicking on this link to visit my Adobe Spark Hemmeland page (scroll down when you get there)
See all other soundscapes here.

The Bark
Whilst taking the dog for a walk this morning I took a photograph of some tree bark. Â Great for backgrounds and overlays (see next post). Â And then I started to wonder. Â Why is bark so wrinkly?

The Democracy Tree
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.

The High-Rise Fungi
For some reason this high-rise fungi was growing up the side of just one tree in the entire forest. Â I took the photograph yesterday, by this morning the fungi had all died back. Strange is the life of fungi.
