A chilly fall day~Lantern Hill

Howdee all,

Sunday ~ Jeff and I went for a hike up Lantern Hill with Sicksta Tink and her hubby Joe.

The colors weren't as vibrant as last years hike.

I don’t know if we are just a bit too early or its just not going to be as colorful as last year.

Its getting chilly here in Connecticut and soon we will head south..

But, until then…lets go for a walk…

Lantern Hill

 Sicksta found two sleeping black birds…

Black Vultures~just waking from a morning nap.

We hiked to an overlook …

Where we hung out for a bit ..taking in the scene…

We watched a chipmunk eat a mushroom..

I was hoping to find some edible mushrooms that were familiar to me..

I didn’t..

Tree base bursting with mushrooms…

Mushroom Idontknowus..butverycoolus

Leaf on Lichen..

Maple and Pine…

Hiking up a bit higher..

Leaves in fall glory~

Most of the colorful leaves I found were small saplings.

Foxwoods Casino in the distance…

More shrooms~

We hiked from the top of the hill down toward the pond ..

I heart this lichen..

Pond reflecting fall’s color…

I loved this color combination

The woods around the pond were golden

 

 

A lovey Autumn hike…
