Slug at night

 A Limax maculatus I think taken with my phone in the garden at night.

Snail on my Aloe

 Bringing my plants in from the greenhouse I spotted this little chap nestling among the leaves of my Lace Aloe.

New spider for me

 Was having a little midnight garden safari the other night and I saw a small spider on the fence. I got an ok photo, then the following night I went out again and got a much better shot. The species is Neriene montana, a relatively large member of Linyphiidae (money spiders)

Little Pink Aliens

I got a new microscope (well, a secondhand one) and I've been trying it out on my old slides. This is an image of a section of corn showing the phloem and xylem cells. The image was made by holding my Canon compact up the eyepiece, hence the circular image.

And this is an image of fern sporangia, cropped to create a rectangular image.

Bracket Fungi

Found on a little walk today through Brinkburn Nature Reserve, Darlington, taken with my phone.

Wet Sky

Went out for a walk with my daughter on Saturday and it poured down all day. Till we got home...typical. Got some good shots though, including this lovely Stratocumulus cloud.
