Trail Tale
I don't usually go into the woods much in July and August because of the bugs, but I decided that my pants were getting snug and I needed to burn some calories. It was quite pleasant on the way up the mountain. However on my way down every insect in a mile radius must have smelled my sweat and zoomed in for the kill. I practically ran back to the car. The bottom section of the trail goes through some wetlands along a boardwalk.
Because it has been a wet summer there were plenty of interesting mushrooms. This one looked like you could top it with butter and syrup and have it for breakfast.
Here are a few more interesting varieties I spotted.
The wild flowers were beautiful.
The best part is always making it to the top for the view.
I don't think I'll be back in the woods again for a few weeks. I'll wait for the insects to take a hike.

Insects, be forewarned, your days are numbered! :)
