SUNDAY STROLL - MORE ABUNDANT LIFE

I know that two weeks of rain have given the earth around us lush verdant life that almost overwhelms the senses. The animals are starting to enjoy the fruit of the winter storehouse of nuts and berries, here are the leftovers of a squirrels enjoyment of hickory nuts.
The Hearts-abursting will supply birds and small ground feeders as the fruit falls.

The green acorns must be tasty to the squirrels because there is plenty of evidence to confirm that opinion.

The creek that slows to a trickle in the summer is being replenished by the abundant rains.

I've brought you down to the labyrinth to show you a delightful result of a full rainy season.

The lichen and mosses seem to come into flower. I guess I didn't know they would flower.

Apparently moss likes orange flowers. Fascinating.

I think these orange fingers are the beginning of sponge style mushrooms.

I just had to add our gourmand cat Kiki savoring some grass at the center of the labyrinth.

It's time to cross over the bridge and return to the house. If you need more exercise head on over at Aisling's for a stroll with someone else.
