Empty bench

I've never seen someone actually sitting on this bench, but why not?  The view is spectacular.

 

Mushroom

Our wet weather has brought up the mushrooms.  Here's a little colony of ringless honey mushrooms.   Perfect hiding place for an elf or fairy.

 

 

After the rain

I haven't posted any pictures for a little while.  Every time I was ready to go out, it would rain.  We've had days and days of heavy rain these last weeks.  But here's the opening in the clouds!

 

Vine

This lovely vine is either Old Man's Beard, a native vine (see here) , or Sweet Autumn Clematis, a non native (see here).  Either way they are invasive, but beautiful in the late summer.

 

Pier

A view of the fishing pier from across the lake.

 

Sun in the fog

A foggy sunny day.

 

Muddy trail

Torrential rain the night before made for a mucky walk.
