Tiny orange mushroom growing out of a mossy tree stump. I love the beauty that forests make from moisture and decay 💚

Tiny plant with bell-shaped white flowers on white stalks, growing on leafy forest floor. This all-white plant, called an Indian pipe, does not produce chlorophyll. It appears all over the Adirondacks. I thought it was a fungus until I looked it up a few years ago. See the glowing light below one of the bell-shaped flowers on the lower left? 🤍

Moss-covered tree stump dotted with tiny white mushrooms

Grateful for wild places. I just can’t get enough of these miniature worlds 💚

Pattern of dots and lines in the bark of a Golden Birch tree, Moss Lake, Adirondack Mountains, USA. Some kind of braille-morse code for trees?

Wide trail through the woods with a hiker in the distance

Tiny orange mushroom growing from a mossy tree stump

Fungus growing on a tree on a wooded trail, with a mossy “ottoman” in the lower right. I’m tempted to take a seat.

Sunset on Browns Tract Pond, Adirondack State Park. Black silhouettes of trees in foreground; blue, orange, and yellow sky in background, reflecting on water. Sky and water are divided by a wooded shoreline.

Sunset on Browns Tract Pond, Adirondack State Park. Pink clouds float in a blue and yellow sky, reflected in a rippled lake, lush with wetland grasses. Water and sky are split by a dark, wooded far shoreline.

At left: Tree growing out of a boulder on a wooded trail carpeted with pine needles. At right: more boulders forming a cliff alongside the wooded trail. The scene is lit with dappled sunlight.

Rooty base of a wide tree on a trail along the Raquette River, New York. The mossy roots form a mini cave where critters (or fairies?) may dwell.

Grateful for . . .
