It wasn’t much, just a few flakes here and there, but still snow. In south central Alabama. And there were some hardy souls out there camping in tents. It is going down to around twenty degrees tonight, but these guys are here for the hog hunt.
I didn’t even want to be out there long enough to do the site checks. I talked those guys for a few minutes. They said they didn’t think they would be able to get here because the roads were bad in Birmingham, 90 miles away. They’ll be here for four days to hunt wild hogs and deer.
While I was out and about today, I saw this interesting dead tree that the forest service cut down so it wouldn’t fall in the road. It was hollow, and had a lot of moss and mushrooms growing on it.
I got out of the truck so I could take a closer look. I love the way mushrooms and other fungi look up close:
You just have to take the time to look for the beautiful things along the way, even if it is cold out there.

I love your dead logs with all the ‘ fun guys ;>)
