FROM THE LOG PILE

FROM THE LOG PILE

TO THE POWER OF SEVEN PLUS

WITCHES BUTTER

bright orange growth protrudes from elder branch

beauty is two fold fungi in its home

of roughed up and decaying bark

it’s as though it was intended and of course it was

Dacrymyces Palmatus or Witches Butter knows that

wonderful to find to see and to know why

myth and legend help the tale onwards

Farm labourer’s son and rural boy from Herefordshire where he was surrounded by beauty and love. Took himself off to London where he worked for 33 years, but the countryside never left him. Rurality came to him again in Cornwall and now in Alicante, Spain. There to appreciate the wildlife. Abhors waste, the indiscriminate use of plastic and its wanton disposal into our oceans. A follower of Raptor Persecution and a desire to eliminate the callous killing of everything to support pheasant and grouse shooting. They kill so much that is a joy for me to see. On a lighter note an avid follower of his home town football team, Hereford FC and Gloucester Rugby.
