A Year in the Forest

I had the opportunity to take my walk in the morning today.  Morning in the forest is different than afternoon and evening.  The forest seemed much more alive.  I saw deer, squirrels, chipmunks and several different birds.  The noise level was greatly increased.  Nights are getting cooler and as a result the dew was heavy this morning.  The glistening water added a magical touch.  Some different mushrooms are starting to come up.  I never realized how segmented their fruiting is.  One week one kind will be fruiting in  abundance and the next week it is replaced by another.
