On our way to get Alexis' car this morning we discovered a fresh new bloom of oyster mushrooms!
These are growing out of an old Ailanthus tree, which itself was chopped down after it grew through the chain link fence. (

All of this is taking place on a bridge over the trolley. There it goes!
Then we went to the Lost Pond Reservation, where the bittersweet is fruiting like gangbusters.
And as long as we're talking about our favorite invasive plants, we may as well look at some multiflora rose hips.
After a soaking walk in the woods, it's hard to say who's more miserable, Alexis or Charlie. Also, nice soft focus effect from letting the camera get completely water-logged.
