We saw a group of Fly Agaric (Amanita muscaria) at the base of some pine trees.
The Rosebay Willowherb (Epilobium angustifolium) had all gone to seed and looked white because they had a misting of dew on them.
This is a picture of Henry taken on an earlier walk at the same location. The site used to be covered with forestry pine trees, but they have all been 'harvested', so it looks a bit bleak in places, but probably gives a better idea of the original view from the Hill Fort.
Another earlier view taken from the walk in August.
Afterwards, we went for coffee and a cake, and a look round the shop at the Samye Ling Buddist Centre. They have some interesting statues, prayer wheels, gardens, arch and temple, which can all be visited.

Hey there,
please take a sec and sign my petition, which is linked at my blog, asking the government of Canada to include animal rights in the constitution, and ask others to sign too:)
Cheers!
P.s Beautiful photos, and the dog!!!:)
Hi Cait! We did a double take when we saw the mushrooms - there were about a dozen of them, but this was the cutest one (so long as you don't eat it ;-) ) straight out of a fairy tale. Hello to Gary as well. Cleo and Mabel are just starting to moult for the year so are very quiet and miserable, poor things.
Hello Traveller. Thank you for dropping by. I will certainly have a look at your petition.
