When all else has failed

When all else fails, photograph the frosted dead man's fingers erupting from the ground  in the back garden.
Fear not, they aren't the fingers of a real dead man but rather the fruiting body of a fungus known as Xylaria polymorpha. 
The dead man's finger, is a saprobic fungus, that is to say that it gets its nutrition from dead and decaying organic matter. It is a common inhabitant of forest and woodland and usually grows from the bases of rotting or injured tree stumps and decaying wood.
