A Christmas Eve Walk


I managed to find some time to take a hike around the property today. In the last four days, we have received another 2" of rain. Thankfully, today was dry and there were a few sun breaks as well. The creeks were running high today but not all full capacity.


As you can tell from the washed out bank, the creek has been over a foot higher recently.


Even in Winter there is still beauty to be found if you look for it.


Down around the big garden I found a new patch of mushrooms that has popped up since my last trip down there.


They had very interesting thick caps that folded upward like an inside-out umbrella as they aged. Their stems also had a pretty texture that resembled a tree trunk. A nice find on Christmas Eve.
