Bullseye

I noticed this interesting fungus growing on a tree the other night at Rose Lake.  Another small tree had grown up and through the fungus and the fungus has since filled in around the hole.  I have never seen something like this.

Icy Oak Leaves

This remains my favorite photo of all the ones I took during the past few days of icy weather.  I saw the tree limbs on which these leaves hung on our way back from church on Sunday morning and made a point to come back later to photograph the leaves.
