Next up! A hike in the mountains. This is a spider we saw at the very beginning of the hike, but he was scared of my camera so he ran away and hid under his favorite leaf. 🙂

Below is a rock that looked like someone cut a heart on it, but I’m pretty sure it was natural.

Does anyone know what this weird red clump-of-berries-on-a-stem is called?↓

Here’s a strange fuzzy-looking fungus – isn’t he so cute? 😛

Now for some gorgeous fall trees!

There was an overlook at the top of the trail where you could crane your neck (and camera) to see a small but very steep falls. I edited this picture because it wasn’t very good to begin with.

For some reason there were also a lot of ladybugs at the overlook. I took a few close-ups of this pretty lil’ gal resting on my jeans.

And that’s it! I hoped you enjoyed the virtual hike – and trust me, you got off easy – that trail was TIRING!
