Eastern jack-o'lantern mushrooms, Mattatuck State Forest, Plymouth, Connecticut. August 26, 2017, 7:00 PM.

In a lush green forest, dozens of bright orange mushrooms grow among the old faded fallen leaves and small leafy green plants along the forest floor. Most of them are clustered in four large groups near the base of two trees.

      A Golden Retriever stands in shallow stream surrounded by ferns and greenery, with a tree partially in view above. Looking pensively as sunlight filters through the leaves, creating a serene natural setting.

            Another weekend, another hike. This time was up on the hills & moor tops around Dove Stone Reservoir, beyond Oldham way out at the very eastern edge of Greater Manchester.

            Lots of fascinating gritstone rock formations and fortunately it's been very dry recently as otherwise the trail over the moors would have gone through some extremely boggy sections.

            According to the GPX track we did about 16km in total, with a total climb of 613m (highest elevation 551m).

            A view from high on a gritstone moor ridge looking down into a valley where a reservoir can be seen.

            A cairn pyramidal of stones stands alone on a moor, which extends as far as the eye can see. Amongst the heather (which has not yet flowered) and tufts of moor grass, small white fluffy balls of cotton grass can be seen.

            Cyclists stand on a flat gritstone outcrop, in the distance are more hills and the reservoir in the valley below.

            The reservoir is in the foregound, with a number of small sailing boats on it, they all have white sails. In the distance a hill rises steeply away from the reservoir. It is grassy with trees on its lower part, but as the elevation increases the change in colour indicates it becomes moorland.
