Happy #WednesdayWalk hosted by @tattoodjay 馃檪 I took my normal walk around my neighborhood but tried to find a few unique photos like this gnarled tree.
Or this interesting twisted tree.
Unfortunately I didn't have the right setup for a good picture but this is a bald eagle in a tree down by the lake. I was excited to see it. We occasionally see bald eagles around the lake but the are not common. I think they prefer Lake Champlain and some of the bigger waterways.
Later on my walk I found this barred owl. They are more common. I hear them a lot and see them occasionally. Sometimes even when there is enough light for a photo 馃檪
This fallen tree is interesting because of the shelf mushrooms on it.
The older gray shelf mushrooms were growing when it was upright before it fell. The newer beige mushrooms have grown after it fell. I thought it was cool that they are perpendicular to each other.
These mushrooms are actually adapting. They were growing one way and now are growing another.
These picturesque stumps were a little further along my walk.
They are covered with older puffball mushrooms that have turned brown.
A woodpecker recently added a new hole to this tree for its winter home.
These curious white moths come out around this time of year. I studied a bit online. They are apparently winter moths. Native to Europe and invasive in the northeast US since the 1990s 馃檨
A final shot of some late season white mushrooms blending in with the foliage.
I hope you enjoyed my #wednesdaywalk from Vermont. Have a great day!
