The Forest has Come Alive Again

Decided to take a break from veggie blogging today. Instead I am going to show some photos I have taken in the woods during the past few weeks. The forest has come alive again and under closure inspection there is a myriad of interesting things to observes. Many of them only showing themselves for a short time before retreating below ground again until next spring.
