Across the street, into the woods

It's Christmas Eve, and after breakfast this morning I took a little walk across the street from our house into the woods.  I treasure that there are woods across the street and this close.  Taking a walk in the woods makes me feel small (in a good way) and creative.  I've heard strange bird calls from here and I've seen a gently swinging lantern at night out in these woods.  Wonder who goes walking here at night?......

If you look carefully in the photo above you can see our house in the distance between the trees.

Baby mushrooms...

Merry Christmas!
