After 2 glorious days of sun and warmth the weather turned gray and damp. I headed out in the drizzle, camera and umbrella in hand. I didn’t realize how soft the snow had become. With each step on the trail my rubber boot sank deeper than it’s full height! I’m sure I looked like I was marching as I trekked along.
Returning; in the foreground you can see my deep tracks. I caught the edge of my umbrella in the top left. My vehicle awaits in the distance.

Conceal and reveal
A fluffy blanket of snow can hide a lot. Interestingly, fluffy snow can also make more obvious what might not be. Here’s an example.
Bracket fungus (aka Birch polypore or razor-strop fungus) wear a snowy hat.
Sure looks like a sesame seed bun to me!
This shot reminds me of the water pump (see previous post).
