For #FungiFriday I found this old photo from October 2013. This beautiful pink fungus was seen growing on the end of a cut log by the Woodland Trail in Fall Creek Falls #StatePark near #Spencer #Tennessee. My apps tell me it is probably in the Genus #Fomitopsis

A pink fungus grows from the dark cut end of a cut log. The fungus is a series of brackets or shelfs that arise from the pink substrate. There’s a sliver of forest and sky visible in the top left.

I definitely stayed well clear of themsome deekly cracked mud in a dried riverbed, left with some diagonal zigzag imprints from a while-ago shoe, partially covered by shadows from surrounding blades of grassrusty brown dirt, with a number of highly articulated shadows from a very distinctive type of weed that growing up I only ever knew by my own made-up name "twisters" based on the shape the spiky seeds took after they left the plant, here still attached via spikes and more closely resembling the Venus Flytraps in Banjo Kazooie

Hype for the Future 101E: Forested Areas of Brown County, Indiana

Overview The surrounding areas associated with Brown County, Indiana, are often identified by the Hoosier National Forest, the Yellowwood State Forest, and Brown County State Park. While the northern part of the county is often less protected than the areas further south, the canopy and related features of the rolling hills remain fairly similar nonetheless, with the un-glaciated terrain and features relatively similar to the foothills associated with the Appalachian Mountains.

Yes, we are having snow...or whirling white dust. Temperatures are around 23f/-5c, not too bad, but the wind picked up significantly, so we came home after 1.5 hours of walk. It will be below freezing all day today, which is good for catching up on reading.

An overcast and mild 41f/5c morning. It will start raining in the evening, and the question is if it will turn into bad snow as temps go down.
We had a very quiet walk as we didn't see any human or dog the whole time until we came back to the parking lot. Not bad having a state park to ourselves.
Please stay safe and keep warm where bad winter storms are hitting.

Believe it or not they were worried about German Battleships approaching the New England coast in WWI so they built a huge earth berm at what is now Odiorne Point State Park with two tunnels under it -- that circle you can see once held a turret with two 16 inch battleship guns

A person can be seen tiny and silhouetted behind a big circle underneath a tunnel with walls made of long granite rocks.
