Day #298- Igneous?

On our hike last weekend, found this interesting rock on the summit. Lots of granite up there. And then there was this. Looked like it had been heated up at some point with its swirls.

Day #297- Mountaintop

A view from the summit last weekend. This was one of the many neighboring mountains. Notice the spruce to the left laden with cones. Also, if you look carefully, the red berries that I posted earlier this week dot the mountainside.

Day #296- Cracked

Another shot from hiking last weekend. Great place for all kinds of "goodies" to fall into!

Day #295- Red Berries

Okay, I need some help here. On our hike Saturday we saw small trees (large bushes?) that had lost their leaves, however had bunches of these brilliant red berries. They were further up in elevation, near the summit. No clue what type...

Day #294- Bright Red With Anxiety

Every fall I read my class Charlotte's Web. I've probably read it over 20 times by now! As we were hiking this weekend I shot this red maple leaf. Instantly recalled the line from the book describing the coming of fall- "A little maple tree in the swamp heard the cricket song and turned bright red with anxiety."

Day #293- Floating

Still a few lonely red leaves to be found on Saturday's hike. This one was floating in one of the streams.

Day #292- Morning Moon

Looked out in the other direction at camp just before breakfast to see the full moon setting behind the mountain. Unfortunately, those darned trees obscured it quite a bit. There was no way for me to get to a better vantage point before it totally set.
