Jewett Preserve
Saw this flowing fungus emerging from a woodpecker nest hole in a recently fallen great-oak limb. The reds and texture showing up like rapids on a close up focus are as beautiful as fascinating. Difficult to decide on this wide shot versus super close focusing on the details.

Private preserve
Serendipity! This was such a great surprise. Just happened to be looking out the south facing large windows when along came this magnificent and rather large forest inhabitant. I started snapping countless photos as it proudly and slowly walked on by then sat down for what looks like a posed picture. Wish I had my windows cleaned more often…..

Hartman Park – power lines
Came across this yard long fella while enjoying the high rocky outcrops over by the power lines running through Hartman Park. Nature in all its glory. The focus could be better but couldn’t get too close (with my trusty IPhone) out of respect for this wonderful creature.
