A Year in the Forest

  Here is the picture looking down into the stream bed as I have been showing the past few days.  You should start to notice how there are fewer leaves.  You can even see the sky in the background a little.  All the paths are noticeably covered with leaves now and there are more coming down all the time.

I fully expected all the mushrooms to be gone today but was surprised to see that not only were some new ones coming up but a log that had a few sprouting yesterday is covered today.    The picture only shows a small portion of the mushrooms.  I plan on harvesting a big batch tonight and having them for supper.

The squirrels are still very busy and I saw them on the ground again today.  I have not seen or heard a deer in a couple of days.
