Nature - December Glory

I have not been on a nature walk in a long time. I wonder why I wait so long when I finally get going. It is wonderful to be outside with my children enjoying the beauty of the land around us. Even in the suburbs you can find open spaces to run and enjoy.

It is much nicer full size - and in real life. :)

Here is my number two and her dog. 

Oldest and youngest running through the paths - that never gets old, does it?

It was just a gorgeous bright sunny day.

We have had a  monstrous amount of rain in the last two weeks so we found all sort of 

different types of mushrooms.

This was so huge and so neat. I don't know the names of any of them or how poisonous or edible any of them are. We didn't touch them - just admired their intricate beauty.

And we took some wonderful pictures of my wonderful children. 

And our crazy dog, Rocky. 

It was a lovely time.
