Its cottonwood season, and there was a ton of cotton fuzz balls everywhere. A came across one especially fuzzy tree, and took a selfie to show the scale of the fuzz.

I think these are mushrooms, but I'm not certain. I've never seen anything quite like them. There were probably around 30 to 50 stalks in the area.

I got up super early to walk with my Mom, so it was still chilly and this robin was fluffed up to keep warm.

I went camping withy brother last weekend. The campground had a hiking trail, and a section of it was called "pine corridor". I can see why.

This squirrel was so tiny, I think it was a baby. It was very curious, approaching us and watching us observe it.

Originally thought the bird had a white stripe on its beak, but the photos reveal that it's some kind of insect.
