Odds and ends. And middles.

 A few random shots taken along the trail by the river:

A fallen log, trimmed where it fell across the trail, bursting out in small, white fungi.

A bald-faced hornet, Vespula maculata, digs through the duff on a log.

The river reflects a sun-drenched, mossy hillside.

View from a bench where I rested; big-leaf maple dressed for fall.

In the understory, the Devil's club spreads its large leaves high enough to catch the sunlight.

Another big-leaf maple, this one, in deeper shade, with a trunk covered in lumps of moss.

Algunas fotos de cosas vistas en el paseo por el bosque y a la orilla del rio. Sin ninguna organización.

  1. En un tronco de un árbol caído, cortado donde cruza el sendero, brotan muchos hongos blancos.
  2. Una avispa Vespula maculata busca entre el detritus encima de un troncón viejo.
  3. Reflejos de una ladera asoleada en el agua del rio.
  4. Visto desde un banco donde me senté un rato; las hojas del arce de hoja grande, Acer macrophyllum, ya empiezan a adquirir sus colores brillantes de otoño.
  5. En la sombra debajo de los árboles, un garrote del diablo, Oplopanax horridus, levanta sus grandes hojas hasta alcanzar la luz.
  6. Otro arce de hoja grande, este en la sombra llevando en el tronco masas de musgos, cafés y amarillentos.

I'm having to moderate all comments because Blogger seems to have a problem notifying me. Sorry about that. I will review them several times daily, though, until this issue is fixed.

Also, I have word verification on, because I found out that not only do I get spam without it, but it gets passed on to anyone commenting in that thread. Not cool!
