Wood walk

On By CarynIn Cats, Flora, Fungi

I took some green time and walked through the woods. I can still see the results of the heavy rain we had, the path I cleared years ago had been swept clean by the water, making a path about two feet wide through the leaves.

I saw some nice mushrooms too, another sign we’ve actually received significant moisture.

I have what I believe is a mulberry tree in the back woods. It is growing under the canopy, so is spindly but keeps making a go of it each year. I was sad to see that something, probably deer, have stripped the bark on one side of the tree.

And of course there were cats. I was able to get a picture of Mr Tom in his glorious winter coat before he wandered off.
