I can't decide which shot I like better. Oliver spotted a bird nest on the ground, empty except for one bit of broken shell. As we paused by the edge of the water, we saw a kingfisher fly by. When I returned a few hours later to go for my run/walk, I think I saw my first green heron but not 100 percent sure.
There were several large patches of pale white lichen, they looked like miniature trees or underwater plants. Then I saw this one little lone fallen mushroom.
On my run, I was able to go much further than I can with Oliver. The path changed several times, forest floor covered in soft pine needles, a hilly part with close growing trees, an area of tall, lacy ferns - still very lush and green. And a small brook, water quite low. All beautiful.
