Didn't take the dogs too far today as I'm back at work on a block of long nights tonight !
As soon as I started the hike I came across one of the largest wood ant nests I've ever seen, it must have been 5' x 4' and around 3' high !
Even though a short hike there were still some nice views to be had.
Little lizards were scurrying around everywhere, I think that's what Snicker was looking for in this pic !
I was looking up as I hiked admiring the colours of the leaves as they changed for the fall.
It was as I was looking up that I noticed something in this tree.
A fine example of Laetiporus or Chicken of the woods as it is known.The mushroom can be prepared in most ways that one can prepare chicken meat. It can also be used as a substitute for chicken in a vegetarian diet. Additionally, it can be frozen for long periods of time and retain its edibility.
My old girl was panting so it was time to head back !
