Mushrooms!

As part of my campaign to recuperate this weekend from having done way too much lately, today I went to the woods in the rain. This is one of the very first rains of the year, and the creek was still just a trickle, so I didn't expect to find mushrooms yet. In fact, I didn't see any at all when going up the hill, but this is typical for me - I focus on the view at first, and the details on the way back. And I did find mushrooms then. Also I saw my second chipmunk ever! No photos of the chipmunk, though - he or she was too fast.

These mushrooms were the prettiest, and this is my favorite kind of moss:
