Howdee all,
Its Autumn here in Connecticut. Blustery, stormy days interspersed with sunshine and windy days.
Bluff point is our favorite place for a four mile round trip walk..not to far from Mom and Dads.
This was an evening walk. 
Windy with no rain.
Just getting dark…
We brought our bins on this walk..but the wind kept most birds down. We did see a Great Egret.
Lots of Cormorants, Gulls and Yellow-rumped warblers, Song sparrows, Eastern Towhees and Blue jays.

I am always looking for mushrooms…We found a few gems on this trip. This is some sort of Lepioda mushroom 
Puff ball city..
If I don't know a mushroom well, I don't eat it unless I am out with an expert.
I try to stay with the safe mushrooms..ones I know inside and out.
Instead..I will use the mushrooms I froze and dried last fall in Oregon…
Chanterelles, Lobsters, Matsutake, Porcini, Chicken of the woods.

A lovely time of year… 
Fine place for a hike. The puffballs look tempting. Your fall is gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteThe leaves are gorgeous and I think mushrooms are so interesting!
ReplyDeleteLove the color of your autumn leaves! We don't have them here but will go to our son's in Missouri soon. Their trees are usually gorgeous by the end of October.
ReplyDeleteYour photo of the egret is excellent--as are all of them!

Good grief, if you're not a mushroom expert, who is??? You could write a book on all the different kinds you've eaten!
ReplyDeleteLove the fall colors you included! They're just starting to turn here.
Oh...those ball things you asked about in the mountain garden? I don't know what they were, but I loved them.
I really liked this walk, beautiful path to walk on by the water.
ReplyDeleteIt's been way too long since I've stopped by.
I need to catch up...!
Hope all is going well, but how could it not, ...living free and traveling.
I love going on these walks with you! I don't eat any mushrooms unless they are morels which I never find.
ReplyDeleteDawn, what a beautiful place for a hike. Loved the egret and the pretty leaves. The mushrooms are cool. I am usually checking them out on my walks but I wouldn't eat any of them.
