Burning Bridges Like Matchsticks

Random encounters with wildlife always make a day better. On the way to my garden plot there was a pair of sandhill cranes (whatever, goddamn birds) picking through the tall grass near the cattail marsh. And a log covered with turtles (Chrysemys picta) basking in the sun.

And to cap things off, I found morels (Morchella esculenta) and shaggy manes (Coprinus comatus) when I was tromping around in the woods in the afternoon.
