Likin' the Lichen

The weather was a bit spotty today but Liam and I were still able to make it out for a quick hike in the Carp Barrens.  It is a very pretty place.  We highly recommend this short and easy local trail.




Of course, Liam noticed an old mica mine.
He is very good at spotting slag piles and the telltale
shiny shards of mica on the ground.

Juniper berries.

Lots of lichen.  Too bad there were no reindeer to eat it.



The moss was so, so green.



Lily pads by the thousands.

Marshy.

Some fall colours finally!

Storm clouds rolling in. 
We got rained on just a little bit.

Sometimes short and easy is exactly what you need.
We burned just enough calories for a small piece of...

...our post-hike snack: butter tart brownies.
