Look at the white pine, refusing to share it’s warm boughs with the bare naked trees. Nature can have some rough mistresses.
This photo was taken in Salmo Pond in the Black Earth Watershed, Black Earth WI, 20 miles west of Madison. The watershed region has some of the best trout streams in the Midwest. (Whoops, we try to keep that a secret!)

Fungus many layers deep
Gift on walking trail.
This inspiring surprise of nature was found on a path along the Black Earth Creek, a trout stream near Madison, Wisconsin. ( A magnificent stream!) Taken just before sunset on October 21, 2007. I’ve misplaced my fungus ID book, so if anyone knows the name of this lovely guy, please share.
Addendum: Mark tells me these are turkey tail fungi. Very well-named.
