Wildlife Watch X!

If I didn't have dogs, then I would never have noticed that there were cattle (!) wandering through the National Forest behind the house on Friday morning.

I am informed by a neighbor that there is a free-range herd down on the valley floor at the bottom of our road and that members of that herd sometimes wander up here when pickin's get slim down there.

Huh.

Whose Poop Is This, Anyway?

I spotted this specimen way back at the end of January, but forgot to share it with you. I am sooooo sorry, you guys!

Turns out it was not poop, but a mushroom-type creature.  I try not to judge based on looks, but c'mon!  So poopy.

I think our dry and warm-ish winter has led to a lot more fungus action on the property, which you also may have noticed if you follow my Instagram (@TheMistressT).  I just can't seem to get enough of taking macro shots of mushrooms.
