Sunny and 50's - a beautiful day. We rarely meet anyone here but today near the start we met two separate women each with a dog and that made Kelley happy .
Picked this hike because of sure water and Kelley found a small stream even before we got to the lake
Few flowers so the ferns stood out today
Branch Lake has a rocky shore and lots of brush, making it a challenge for Kelley to get to the water.
Working her way between the rocks
Another section of shore
with easier access
I also found some interesting fungi
These were tiny, the largest being about 1/4 inch across
A nice hike. Kelley was enthusiastic and did well. 1 1/2 hours
Lovely lake and hike!
ReplyDeleteThanks Linda
DeleteI like the autumn colors of the ferns, they are unique. Kelley certainly is determined to get in the water, dodging those big rocks! The fungi are so pretty.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comments- the ferns seem more colorful than usual - the trees are still mostly green
DeleteI always enjoy the fungi in the autumn--so many varieties popping up.
ReplyDeleteHope you've had a great month. I'll be catching up on posts slowly. Vacation is over!
:D
Hope you had a good one- it has cooled down here to normal fall temps and lots of sun- problem is we still need rain badly
