December the 10th was a really good day.  Not only was the weather perfect for walking, I harvested a spike (perfect double lung shot, pats self on back) and made cookies for Addie’s piano recital.  A well-rounded day.  The early morning hours revealed lots of beauty.

Here is what I saw.

Dew-coated pod and a Daddy-Long-Leg spider……

Oak leaf with a touch of lace….

This barn you can barely see from the road, I think I was trespassing.  Don’t tell anybody, okay?

I hate to see things go to waste and once upon a time this was a pretty neat little shelter.

sigh.

Moss growing on a tree limb……

This little mushroom was keeping the pine tree company.

Pretty fungi and some unidentified animal poop.

All the following pictures were taken on a single log in less than a square foot.  Lots of color and life in such a tiny spot!

Moving on….I crawled under a fence then hopped up onto the railroad tracks.

Spotted some super fuzzy, peach-colored fungi beside the tracks……

I was walking along the tracks, heard a rustling to my left and saw several does.  I counted 6 but only got 3 in the pictures.

They finally saw me and dashed away at record speed.

PRETTY ROCKS!

Thanks for joining me today!

Love ya’!
