Silent Walk

After weeks of rain and steamy winds from the south, last night a wind came in from the northwest, bringing autumn with it.  Woke up to cool, dry air, and sunshine!

Went for a walk along the Langenau Loop Trail - I think.  The trail has just been cleared, and there are no signs up yet.  I might have wandered off onto other trails here and there.  The walk was almost entirely silent:  a deep layer of needles and leaves muffled our footsteps, and there was an almost total absence of birds and squirrels.  The wind was rustling the leaves, but that was it.


The walk started and (thankfully) ended at Messer Pond.


The pesky little beavers are very active, and last night dropped a tree across the trail.

Fungus everywhere this year!





Mount Sunapee



There were moose here, but not recently

Coral Fungus of some kind

An Amanita
