A view of someone holding sandy soil in their hands as it trickles their fingers. They're wearing jeans with a karibiner attached to one of the belt loops.

It's a beautiful dreich Dartmoor day up here in the clouds. Just chilling on Drake's Trail It's easy enough to walk past Devon hedge banks covered in moss and forget that they were made by people, until the moss parts and you see the stones peeping out like exposed bones. Great discovery on this morning's dog walk, devil's fingers (Clathrus archeri). Found on the common as if placed there.
