I took Christopher, my youngest lad, a loaner Nikon D3300 and the Nikkor 18-105 VR, which seems to be proving one of my best, most versatile lenses.
We arrived just after midnight, parked and slept well, I had hoped to have been fairly well up by dawn but at 4 am I just couldn't raise the enthusiasm to clamber up the mountains. That came a little later...
All images taken with Nikon D3300 set to fully automatic, recording JPEG images, using a Nikkor 18-105 VR, hand held, no tripod for once!
This was the scene at 8am the Sun well up and a layer of mist covering the distant Helvellyn range.
Can anyone ID these two species please?
A small fungus, the cap is about 20mm in diameter, growing in a remote waterlogged bog surrounded by what I think is sphagnum moss.
The second species is a lovely, delicate, little white flower, growing near to the fungus above. It's almost like an orchid except I don't think orchids live in water?

Unfortunately I forgot to set the image recording to NEF so I couldn't recover as much as I might have.
Will add more images over the weekend, a bit tired right now. My iPhone reckons I climbed 165 flights of stairs and covered over 9 miles walking yesterday.
