Last Saturday I took my bike to First Landing State Park in Virginia beach for a ride on the Cape Henry Trail. The trail is an old country road cutting across Cape Henry from the Chesapeake to the Atlantic. It runs through a diverse forest growing on a series of ridges formed from ancient sand dunes. In the low spots between the ridges, cypress swamps have formed where the trees are draped with Spanish moss. This ride is one of my favorites, and I try to do at least once a month. At the end of the trail I ride through oceanfront neighborhoods, head towards the boardwalk and the touristy area, and finally turn around at Rudee Inlet.

What a wonderful place! And those fungi are incredible!
ReplyDeleteThe forest pictures are stunning, and the fungi series is adorable.
ReplyDeleteI remember your previous 2015 post showing the demolition of the "new" Cavalier. Is the new construction completed?
Quite an interesting assortment of mushrooms.
ReplyDeleteThat is an amazing change of scenery in one bike ride. An amazing variety of mushrooms, the forest, the sea. But the plastic astroturf Christmas tree--oh, dear!
ReplyDeleteI realize how behind I am on blog visits looking at these autumnal colors. I love the odd mushrooms! I've taken a winter hike and a ski and am saving those images for your winter walk post.
