What a magical place, Cliff. We are, as ever, most grateful to you and  your camera skills  8)

Just shows you how speedy those elves and pixies are , though, doesn't it? If ever a spot was right for those little creatures , Tandle Hill must be IT... but in all those super pix, not a single pixie to be seen.... who'd have thought they could be so fast as to escape your lens? ::)

Fourth and final visit to Tandle Hill Country Park.

Many thanks Maggi...you nipped in between postings. No elves, pixies, trolls or fairies but you may spot 'The Beast of Tandle Hill' on the final image.

Take care everyone.

Thanks Carlo, David and Thomas (I will post the 'beauty' under plain cover to your home address Thomas).

Just four more images that I thought were too large for posting.....

Thanks so much Cliff. Fabulous fungi and the whole place looks quite magical. Yes, to the pixies, elves etc. They must be there somewhere. Lurking, no doubt.

Cliff,

So what exactly is the "beast".  Those glowing eyes are a bit of a concern.

Carlo,

Disturbing that you have the same sense of humour as me.  Had already thought of the fun guy comment before I read your posting.  I don't htink I'm complimenting you here, given what my sense of humour is like!!  ;D ::) ;D
Cheers.
