Clouds + Gulls

 Every evening the gulls fly over on their way to their roosting site, and I often go out to check out the sky for interesting clouds. On this evening I went outside with my phone and combined both!

A humongous fungus

 Spotted growing at the bottom of a Whitebeam tree, I thought it might be Chicken of the Woods, but I  discovered its actually called Meripilus giganteus.

Garden Spider

 This huge female Araneus diadematus has set up her web on my potato plant. It would be rude of me not to get photos...

Some garden macros

 Dug out my macro lens and put on a homemade flash diffuser over the pop up flash. I need to work on it.

The last flower is from a potato plant in the garden!
