An Autumn Walk

The trail led through the woods, the forest floor is carpeted with the red leaves of small woodland plants.

Three small wooden bridges cross low areas.  Watch out for the troll!

I think I found where the troll lives.

The marsh at the edge of the woods is alive with geese, taking flight as they prepare to move south for the winter.

Turning back to return home, the path again leads into the woods.  A lonely birch adds contrast to the otherwise gray landscape. 

And small openings in the trees make one wonder what magical creatures may live there.

Thanks for joining me on my walk.  I certainly enjoyed it, and I hope you did too.

A Fungus Among us

Here are a few pictures of mushrooms I have taken over the years.   Nothing special really, just some interesting looking specimens.  I have not been able to get out to take any pictures recently, so I thought I would hit the archives.

Here are a few more shots from my morning trip to the Chippewa Nature Center, including the old Homestead.
