Cool, damp morning under cloud-sealed sky
Surrounded by variations in volume, rhythm, pitch and tone of cricket ringing
-adding inexplicable comfort and depth
Lovely earthen scents: mix of wet leaves, mushrooms, damp rock and herbs
Sounds of acorns clunking, rolling, sliding down trunks, branches and leaves
50% leaf-covered trails
Chipmunk gulps echo throughout the forest
Sun attempts to shine in the buzzing, ringing prairie
New mushrooms and fungi
Black fungus-coated (Scorias spongiosa) beech leaves
-thanks to the woolly beech aphids
Sun breaks through, breeze ramps up, leaves float gracefully
Gorgeous early autumn
