This posting is going to be a virtual walk in a beech forest showing the vast array of fungi, lichens, mosses, toadstools and other objects of beauty. Many of these photos have been supplied by a very good friend of mine and they have allowed us access to this beautiful and peaceful enviroment.
Many of these shots were taken in a light misty drizzle (rain) so it added a extra dimension to the overall effect.
Because many of these fungi are so small it is very hard to do them justice so enjoy what you can see and leave the rest to your imagination!!!!
This must be the world of elves and hobbits.
I hope you have enjoyed this amazing world down by our bootlaces where parts of Lord of the Rings was filmed.
This simple rat trap has dramatically improved bird life in this area and we were lucky to see some red crowned parakeets in the trees above.
This is manuka bark shedding off the trunk providing an awsome sight and creating an ecosystem for more forest life.
