It was a wonderful little hike - we saw lots of birds and mushrooms, found another Boletus satanas which is basically the only poisonous bolete mushroom. The sun was out but it was a rather cold day - with crisp air and lots of bright colors. One of the best things about winter (for me) is a chance to draw tree skeletons - so I had some fun with them too :)
