A Walk in the Woods

Hi Everyone!

Our family is blessed to live close to the school campus where my hubby works, and they have lots of wonderful trails that we are able to hike on. . . 

as busy as we are, we do not go often enough.  But when we do, I love to bring my camera.

A couple of weeks ago, we got a chance to go out hiking.  Being Fall, there were not a lot of wild flowers, but I found a fascinating selection of fungi! 

I loved the red cap on this one!

Sweet little shape.  Just needs a little frog sitting underneath it in a gentle rain!

I love the woods!  The trails just invite you on and on. . . 

These looked almost like golf balls, all sitting on the same log.  So funny!

And the color arches here I thought were beautiful.  Just like the log was growing little rainbows.

The view at the top was worth the hike up!

So delicate looking ferns. . . 

Smiles for being at the top!

My sweet heart!  

Hope you enjoyed this little hike in the woods!

Summer Fun: At the park!

Our heat continues--not in the triple digits like we were before, but still plenty hot up in the upper 90's.  Where are the summer days in the 70's like my Michigan blood likes???  Ah well.  Guess if we can't have seventy degree days we might as well find a way to beat the heat and bloom where we are planted!  SO--with that in mind, we went to check out a city park we had heard about.  Fortunately, I had some prior information that I had better bring a swimming suit for our little one, as well as a towel.  So we were duly prepared . . .

 She had a BLAST!  Parking for one hour:  75 cents.  Fountain play:  free.  Memories:  made!  Fun:  had!

I loved watching her have fun!  And have to admit that the cool water of the fountain was pretty hard to resist!  Maybe next time I need to bring MY swimming suit!
