I'm a bit late to the fungi party! This is the first year some have caught my eye. I fell in love with some little porcelain fungi, so simple, delicate and light. These were up a tree so I could get right underneath them, I was fascinated by the gills - see I'm learning the lingo! I'm looking forward to finding more.

We will remember.

For those who are kind enough to follow my pictures who are not British, you may be wondering why there is often a wave of poppy images shared in November by British photographers?

In November, in particular on the 11^th and on the second Sunday of the month we remember those brave men, women and animals who gave their lives in wars all across the world. Why poppies? Poppies were the flowers which flowered in the battlefields at the end of World War One.

Usually many people gather to remember, but this year everything is different, but we will still remember.

I think this will be the last of my pictures from my summer trip to Italy, I've got lots of autumn pics waiting in the wings.

It's been a funny old week, I hope all those in lock down are doing okay and are able to get out and about with cameras and/or just a walk, so necessary for keeping our heads straight
