mushroom hike

So Boomer and I went hiking the trails at Carvins Cove.  I love to take Boomer there, he gets to run around the woods and trails and play in the lake.    During our walk, I noticed all kinds of bright colorful mushrooms along the trail.  It has been raining so much, these fungi plants are sprouting up everywhere.  I took some pics with my camera and my advocate put them in a collage.  Here they are:


 

I love the randomness of the growth placements...against a tree, laying down in moss, coming out of a tree stump...amazing.

Also, while Boomer was prancing around the shoreline, he chased after a stick in the water...but as I was watching him with the stick, I noticed the stick move.....it was a snake!!!  From my distance I could not tell what type of snake, nor did I get a clear view of the shape of its head, so I got Boomer away from it....last thing I need is for Boomer to get bit by a water moccasin or some other poisonous snake.   The snake was only about 18 inches long and slender....

Boomer is very obedient, so he left the snake alone and we continued our hike.   

I love hiking, it is calming and quiet.  It is my new go too activity to get away from people and to be left alone.  Just me, Boomer and nature.
