23"x19" (58x48cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 16x12 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 23x19 inches (584x482mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

Nature's Sweet Surprise - Birch Tree Turns into a Honey Fungus Haven!
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this snapshot, we witness the enchanting transformation of a humble Birch tree (Betula pendula) into a buzzing hotspot for honey-loving fungi. The vibrant fruiting bodies of the Honey Fungus (Armillaria mellea) have taken over the tree's stem, creating an otherworldly spectacle that is both beautiful and bizarre. As if sprinkled with nature's own golden syrup, these mushroom-like growths exude an irresistible charm. With their rich hues ranging from creamy yellows to deep amber tones, they resemble delectable treats straight out of a fairytale feast. It seems as though Mother Nature herself has granted this Birch tree the power to produce its very own sweet delicacies! But don't be fooled by their sugary appearance; these fungal fruits serve a greater purpose in our environment. As part of nature's recycling team, Honey Fungus plays a vital role in breaking down decaying matter and returning nutrients back to the soil. So next time you stumble upon such an extraordinary sight like this one captured by Ardea Wildlife Pets Environment, take a moment to appreciate the whimsical wonders that exist right under our noses. After all, who knew that even trees could have their own secret stash of honey?
