The weather cooperated, the scenery was beautiful, and there were countless photo opportunities, again. The mosquitoes were also plentiful and we donated several litres/quarts of good red blood as we sacrificed our bodies for the sake of making some photos. While I was able to make a variety of shots I decided to post ones of what we found growing along the trail - these were usually discovered through careful observation as we strove to not pitch headfirst into the mud by tripping on exposed roots or rocks.
(NOTE: please bear with me as I have company for a few days. I will do my best to post each day, and I will be back to visiting your blogs shortly and get caught up on your photographic experiences.)

Hi Rick, are those Dutchmen relatives of you? Well no matter what have fun along the way.We know you'll be back visiting us all soon.

Dont know if they were Magic mushrooms, but your photos are Magic Rick.
Uau! Detalhes incríveis!
Beijos.
such intricate beauty in the woods ...
Wonderful photos once again Rick, you never cease to impress the heck right out of me with your amazing shots.
Do NOT ignore your company my blogger friend, all in good time you'll be back. I feel that if we are neglecting other things in our lives to blog then it's time to quit blogging... for me anyways. Enjoy your company and see you when you return! :-) This also give me more time to find crocuses! lol
What a coincidence.
I was attacked by mosquitoes yesterday night and today I took a photo of some mushrooms. Two things that happened to you too ;).
Well captured!
I love the warmness of the 3rd picture :-)
Greetz,

@Ruth's Photo Blog - Hi Ruth - I appreciate you stopping by my blog and leaving a very nice comment. I'll come check yours out soon too.
One thing I like about you blog is I never know what will be there.I do know that it's going to be interesting and well taken. Enjoy your time away.
@Chad - thank you Chad; touring visitors around also gives me an opportunity to 'shoot' places I might otherwise not visit soon.
I just love your macros, Rick! You've captured some brilliant details and you always pick just the right DOF!
The moss on the first shot looks like it should be a stairway for little teeny woodland faeries! :o)
@Krista - thank you. I could have filled up my card with all the lovely things to shoot there :) Ah yes, the leprechaun stairway - I liked how they were all stacked up on the side of the log.
Thanks for coming by Krista - I'll be resuming blog visits.
It's all in the details and you captured them!
@Jeanne Klaver - thanks; there were lots of 'big picture' opportunities also but I found the details very interesting.
