The lovely Winsome miniature rose:
Pink (Are we noticing a pattern here?) Phlox:
The blue jays are lovin’ the acorns:
How is September lookin’ at your place?

It is always good to slow down and take a walk once in a while. It refreshes body and soul and one never knows what one might discover.
A nest in the apple tree:
A crab spider hiding out in the phlox (she is so clever with her camouflage):
And a pine beetle:
Oh yes, he is alive!
I think the dent in the beetle’s wing casing was caused by an adventurous kitten.
She only looks innocent!
What discoveries have you made on your walks?

One of Hubby’s and my favorite places to canoe and hike is at Big Meadow Lake. It is peaceful and an awesome home for all sorts of wildlife…deer, moose, cougar, bear, ducks, eagles and more. Although power boats are allowed, we’ve rarely been disturbed by them when paddling.
A hike is great any day, but this particular rainy October day (You don’t mind a bit of reminiscing do you?), we hiked and came across many varieties of mushrooms. I don’t know the names of any, but that doesn’t make the enjoyment of them any less. Here’s a sampling from that hike:
