Fungi and a frosty fusion in the forest

I took a walk up to Glenamour Loch yesterday Tuesday the 18th of December 2012.



My first look was at the wee loch Glengarren where I took these first couple of pictures



This strange bit of fungus was on the underside of a branch



I thought at first this was a discarded ice cream tub 'til I took a closer look



Glenamour Loch was reflective





Occasionally on the forest floor there was the odd bit of ice. This is a macro shot, the size of the icy lump is in context in the next picture 


The blades of grass show it's size


Next I found a dead tree with a lot of fungi 







In this last picture I took this close up but I failed to take one to show the true size of fungi. The largest of these was no more than 10 mm or 3/8th of an inch across. The branch was the thickness of a shepherds walking stick  

That was an enjoyable stroll

    Thanks Rose, I could have lots of fun with my camera up in the tropics of the Antipodes. I'll have to think of a Christmas blog post.
