IF YOU GO DOWN TO THE WOODS TODAY

Which we did and came across this magnificent tree carving.

Also extras: a Beetle? identification unknown

and lichen: Dog Vomit Slime Mould I believe. I really wish I hadn't touched it and that was before I found out its name. It didn't look it, but was wet and cold with the consistency of an unset blancmange. And that's a polite comparison.

Thank you so much for the comments and stars, especially as I am such an absentee.You are such lovely people. I decided to make an effort this holiday and hopefully it will kick start my blipping.
