Pine Tree Preserve

I walked through the Pine Tree Preserve right after I got off my work shift. The sun had already set, there was a slight breeze, and the temperature was ~50°F, making it necessary for me to throw my jacket on. It had rained most of the day already, and was still slightly drizzling as I walked on the pathways. The ground was littered with twigs and fallen leaves, and was damp and muddy. The fungi I discovered during my walk was residing on the bark of the one of the larger trees on the top of the small hill. It consisted of a thin white green layer, which covered most of the other trees nearby as well. I even caught a picture of a hare later on! It stopped and munched on some leaves or grass, and didn't even seem spooked when I made noise or moved. Overall, the walk took me about 40 minutes and was a good way to wind down after a shift!
