Though the view was breathtaking from the top, I found just as much inspiration along the way.
The most fascinating was the mushrooms. I have been seeing them everywhere this year. I don't think I ever realized how many different varieties there really are . While walking up the mountain, albeit the easy trails, I stopped to take pictures along the way. I took the summit trail back from the top. This is a very rocky and steep trail. As I stopped to take some pictures of the mushrooms I found a very kind older gentleman stopped. We struck up a conversation about the mushrooms. He seemed very interested that I would take the time to takes pictures of them. He was also very concerned that I might take my fascination too far and eat one. I assured him that while I do like mushrooms, the only ones I eat come from a grocery store. Wildlife of all kinds are only for pictures and to enjoy from afar. He seemed relieved with my answer and we soon parted ways. What a nice man he is to take the time to caution a fellow person on the dangers of mushrooms.
Where will you travel today? And what beauty will you find there?
