Where I live in Devon, we have quite steep banks each side of the lanes. Apparently, before the days of the car, the carts wore the lanes lower and lower, and the bankings got higher ad higher!!![]()
Anyway, on a recent walk down the lane, I spied this tree stump, quite high up. It has weathered to this beautiful silver colour ......
This is a pic of the whole stump, must have been there
a hundred years or more .....![]()

Further down the lane I found this amongst the moss - right at eye level. I know it must be a fungus, but anyone know the name.
The closeup is in the top right hand corner, but the fungus covers the whole picture, as you can see. I actually took the picture in the Spring, as you can see from the primroses!

gorgeous pics Val!
LOVE the tree stump, it reminds me of pictures of cloud covered earth taken from space :o)
On the moss....well that just looks like a venus fly trap to me! ha!
hugs
hello gorgeous xxx
Super subject. At first it looked like patterns in sand. Some of those fungi look quite deadly!
Wonderful photos Val. I love old tree trunks and rough and textured things!!
Wonderful photos Val. I love that treestump - so much texture and so many interesting shapes and patterns. I have never seen anything like the fungus. It is amazing and looks like a sculpture.
The stump is a wonderful pattern inspiration Val. Just imagine what that tree has witnessed all these years....love the fungi shot ...scary looking thing!
The stump is awesome! I love all those textures and lines in the stump, its own little road map of its life.
love the fungus shot, the greens and grays go together very well. I find the history of these things so fascintating. It's amazing what they have "seen". very nice.
Love the photos Val! The textures of the tree stump are amazing!
The stump is beautiful. The texture and details are amazing. There's a lot of inspiration there! I have no clue what the fungus is but it looks pretty amazing too!
The wood is fantastic! Looks like dry riverbeds. That mushroom os incredible almost looks like a "Hen of the Woods" but I've never seen one with those frilly bits - that's some inspiring walk you took!
What a strange fungus...looks like something you might find at the bottom of the sea!
Great photos again Val.
Cool pictures! It looks like you took a walk on another planet.
Such lovely pictures, with lots of gorgeous texture! I wonder if that weird growth is a lichen... I don't know if you have them in your climate, but the coloring and texture look like the lichens out here in the American Southwest. Whatever it is, it's striking!
Fab photos Val.
The texture on the stump is amazing and that fungus is something to behold for sure!
What fascinating photos Val. That second one would make a lovely texture for your altered images.
