A trip to my local beach. #Sharemondays2026 #EastCoastKin
A sunset from last Monday night, when the coastal rowers were out in the bay, as it was getting close to sunset.

An in camera 2 shot multiple exposure, that I took in the local woods. The Birch trees are overlayed in the running river beside me. #Sharemondays2026
A 2 shot multiple exposure in camera of some birch trees overlayed onto a picutre of the river running beside me. Just another little experiment for me.

I liked the pure black of this bit of Fungi, the little flowers below were a bonus #ECK #fungi #mushrooms
This bit of fungi was so black you would have thought it had been burned, the little flowers at the bottom, were just a bonus.

Just before the rain . #Sharemondays2026
Sometimes it is just the simple things, that catch your eye, this leaf was just lying there and I was drawn to the colours and the changing of them, rain was just starting as well. Autumn has started here.

Been plenty of Fungi about in the woods, from the tiniest of ones, to some that was 8" across. For me the flip out screen on the camera has been a game changer. #fungi #EastCoastKin #Ayrshire
A rather nice bit of Fungi from last Saturday, where the woods just kept giving. I like to get down as low as possible and for it is only having the flip out screen on the camera that has enabled me to do so.

Woods are starting to come alive with fungi. #Sharemondays2026 #EastCoastKin
The woodland floor is beginning  to come alive with fungi, 2 pieces of fungi and to the right of the larger one, there is a little beastie as well, that I never even noticed, till I got it on the large screen, using a diffuser to shade them from the sun, that was coming in and out and battline the wind.

Fungi time is starting off well. #Sharemondays2026
With the rain, comes the fungi on the woodland floor.  It is like the changing of the seasons, heading to Autumn, it probably is my favourite time of the year.

Paul Macleod @paulmacleod.bsky.social · 26/08/2026
The time of year when more and more fungi appears, I actually sat in the little stream below the old tree trunk to get an angle. #EastCoastKin
Some fungi on an old tree strump over a small stream, that I sat in to get the angle, I was looking for.

In my little part of Ayrshire, we have pretty much avoided most of the heat and everything is the usual green. Could not imagine, what you have been going through further south and the damage to wildlife,

Honey Bee nectaring on heather #ShareMondays2026 #EastCoastKin
I sit and watch to see where the insects are landing, then just sit and wait,  seeing Honey Bee's on the Heather was what I was hoping for and just a pleasant way to pass a hour or so.

What is left of Greenan Castle built in the 16th century to replace a building from the 12th century. #EastCoastKin #Ayrshire
What is left of a moat and bailey castle, Greenan castles dates back to the 16th century and the earliest one from the 12th century, also where i cut my teeth with seascape photography at sunset.

Was great just watching the bee,s hanging on the flowers. #Sharemondays2026
Watching the bee's land of the flowers of the Heuchra and the wweight of them making the flowers droop, amazing to watch and learning all the time of what attracts what.
