Half way round my walk along the High Bowkerstead Trail the weather really took a turn for the worse and I realised I was going to have to pack all my gear away. I took shelter under some pine trees and as I started to pack up I saw these tiny fungi, they are really delicate but there were loads of them growing through the carpet of pine needles and bark on the forest floor.
I then saw the droplets of water on the plant in pictures three and four. The weight of the water pulled the plant downwards each tiny droplet looked like a jewel. I illuminated them with a small torch I carry in my pack and as the drops caught the beam of light they sparkled rather like fairy lights at Christmas. I tried to get a sharp image from various angles however I had to give up due to the heavy rain. It has given me some ideas for a future project but for now the pictures above will hopefully do nicely.
