There was a whole miniature world on this stump.
The red pine plantations are always playing tricks with the light. This dead red oak tree in front of the pines is quite a contrast in textures.
I have run into Kurt and Connie more often than anyone else on the trail. Here we were again- out doing the same section. Lola joined them today.
This is some dried-up fungus. I have no idea what. I expected it to be powdery when I touched it, but it was hard crumbles!
For contrast, patches of green moss glowed. I liked the little rounded humps.
How about some holes in a tree. A litte artistic.
And finally. this odd picture that looks like I photoshopped it. However, it's just a place where there are white pine above the trail and red pine on the downslope. It's amazing how the red pine trunks change the light. Positioning myself so that skinny tree with the blaze is right on the divider really makes it look like two photos stuck together.
I hiked 10 miles today. Longest walk in a while. Finished just before dark!
North Country Trail miles for 2020 is at 253
In other news: I wrote 720 words in Dead Mule Swamp Singer and wrestled a large chair that was in the way into our one good storage building.
North Country Trail, Lake County, MI, from Timber Creek at US 10 north, 5 miles and back

I liked all the photos and the interesting things you found while out hiking. That last one though is really impressive. It does look like two pictures merged together. Very cool
10 miles?! WOW! Good for you. It's been hard for me to get out with the temps in the 30's. I did 2 miles at lunch, so I guess it's better than nothing. I miss the warmer temps!
Ann- I agree, that photo is bizarre
Lin- I have nice warm pants I bought, and I really feel good walking in the 30s
