Strong Winds and Thunderstorms

Weather has gone a little weird. We experienced strong winds and heavy thunderstorms.

Fallen tree trunks, branches and leaves were brought down with many blocking the path. Mindful hikers (usually the elderly) quickly helped clear as best they could.

With the heavy rainfall, many mushrooms sprouted.

You really cannot beat Nature's way and it is beautiful!
