Mushroom hunting

I usually object to tree infested fun since I'm allergic to everything that grows. However, I've been surprisingly less sneezy of late. So Dan and I went looking for some fungus. Thank goodness the girls had better luck with the grandparents. We found a grand total of two. So I looked for other great things.

For example- this log we are sitting on. Yes. I know you can't see it, but it was fabulous. It actually looks like a bench, but it's a tree. Amazing.

 

There was also this tree growing from two ends

 

An old nest

 

And oh, so many butterflies!
