Three days of rain over Christmas, followed by hot, sunny weather, has provided perfect conditions for mushrooms, toadstools and other fungi. I found this odd looking one near the pond. I particularly like its scaly texture.
This brings my 365 Project to an end. It took me more than a year to complete because I was unable to take photos for a few months. I enjoyed the challenge but am glad it is finished. I will continue to take photos and post them on my blog, although probably not every day.
These cygnets are only a couple of days old. I would have liked to get closer but Papa Swan was hovering nearby and I didn't want to incur his displeasure.
