A Family of Mushrooms at Honeyman State Park! (+7 insets)

A Family of Mushrooms at Honeyman State Park! (+7 insets)
(+7 insets!

Treasures Abound Everywhere You Turn
My morning walk at Honeyman had me marching at a fast clip every day because to walk the special forest loop that I loved, I had to trek quite a distance. It worked out to be nearly seven miles round-trip and was so rewarding every time. I would see sand dunes and lakes, deep forest and lovely meadows, and everywhere there were flowers and fungus, birds and bunnies, and even the rare person and their dog to pass by. One afternoon I took Steve on my entire walk and he couldn't believe how far I went! :D He agreed though, that the magical forest loop at Woahink Lake was the prize and worthy of the challenge.

Today's Picture
The trail to the forest loop took me along nearby Woahink Lake, and as I entered the deep woods, the mushrooms came out to greet me! This beautiful family was quite the prize!

Today's Insets: The number of fabulous subjects I managed to capture on our two-week stay here just goes on and on, and here are a few!

Inset #1: There is a kind of parasitic perennial herb called California Ground Cone which defies description if you should ever be so lucky as to discover one!

Inset #2: One of the trails takes hikers to a different lake situated a ways from the main campground and if one has the time, it leads to a deep and magical forest! It was a highlight every time I went!

Inset #2 &3:These two pictures show the sand dunes near the park and were taken one day when Steve and I took an arduous trail that included walking over the sand. The views are fantastic, including a point when we crested a tower of sand and were greeted with the view of Cleawox Lake and the ocean beyond.

Inset #4 Walking around the forest loop, I found this marvelous group of stumps and was delighted when I saw Stump Man looking up at me!

Inset #5: There were countless wild Azalea bushes along the trail covered with breathtaking blossoms which were just starting to open for the season. What a sight they were!

Inset #6 Returning from my walk, the sight of this glowing tree in the campground made me pause and soak up its beauty.

Inset #7: When I'd return from my adventure, Steve and Pumpkin would greet me, and often I'd find them cuddling on the couch with Pumpkin nestled in Steve's fluffy robe. Darling!

Thank You For the Visits!
I've enjoyed seeing your comments and appreciate your visits so much. Please take care of yourselves and best of luck to you and your families while this virus continues to take over. Let's cross our fingers that it ends up weakening into "just another cold." Until then…please take care!

Sehr interessant dein heutiges Hauptbild. Durch das Hochformat (Danke!) wirken die Pilze riesengroß, wie uralte Bäume im Dschungel. Das Licht ist hier fantastisch, ein Mix aus Licht und Mystik.
Das 7.Pip ist zuckersüß :-).
Schönes Wochenende, Janet!

Wow you are certainly very fit, sweetie. A round trip of 7 miles for just your morning's walk? I can understand why you walked it too - especially seeing the beautiful views of the lakes and the ocean. That parasitic herb is very attractive, let's face it, most parasites aren't as pretty as this one. I love the main picture of the mushrooms/fungi - so beautiful with the dark background highlighting them. The bench thingy - very unusual, I do like the markings like a grid carved on the seat. Is it because there were so many children?

As for the last picture with Steve and Pumpkin - absolutely adorable. I wish you and Steve a happy and healthy 2022 and as you say, let's all hope this virus will soon be a "flu-like" illness with an annual vaccine to have so you can start living again. We've all had two years of scary times, and it's time to start living again. Much love xx

I love that mushroom shot Mum, Dad, and the kids, mushroom-style!! The California Ground Cone fascinates me. It seems to be leaking some sort of juice. Thanks for showing us the cute picture of your lovely, little Pumpkin all snuggled up! That is so beautiful!!!

I love the main image Janet..............a fabulous, fungi family standing tall against the dark background. Absoloutely wonderful.

I also love your selection of PiPs and that you take the trouble to describe each one to us!

My favourites are the two beautiful panoramic shots of the sand dunes and the Azelea flower with it's gorgeous bokeh!

Take care!
