I am using this lovely weather to get my yards all cleaned up and things stored for winter too. Maybe even put the Christmas lights up since my fingers won't freeze. <br /><br />The Bruce Trail is a gorgeous spot. What a great service you are doing for Nature and all of us in helping to keep it beautiful. thank you!LA Botcharhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09045857399816360885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1315509519261683441.post-66770646266003779502015-11-03T19:44:47.235-05:002015-11-03T19:44:47.235-05:00Interesting fungus, I hope you find out what it is...Interesting fungus, I hope you find out what it is called.

Your photos and information are always interesting. The sink holes are neat to see but must be quite dangerous if one isn't paying attention. I love the photo of the rock outcropping and the stream coming from under it. Yep. I hear gunshots around here these days too. And I saw 2 large deer in the field up the hill this morning. I hope they survive!Pamela Gordonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18071092617682650349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1315509519261683441.post-51089469971387074012015-11-03T08:20:58.560-05:002015-11-03T08:20:58.560-05:00Good for you for being a land steward.

We live close to a limestone area - it is a little unsettling to think of the network of caverns beneath your feet, and wonder when a sink hole is going to turn into something more sinister...Mike@Bit About Britainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08741370413282813229noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1315509519261683441.post-81634084195211287522015-11-03T06:59:09.238-05:002015-11-03T06:59:09.238-05:00I would do a lot of 'wondering' about thos...I would do a lot of 'wondering' about those sinkholes & what lies beneath them as well.

Are those sinkholes dangerous to hikers? Maybe some sort of warning should be placed near them. The fungus is very unusual--I tried to look it up online but could not find another photo that looked like it. Maybe you can send a photo to a local university for their science department to identify it.
