Alexis and I on either side of an Amanita mushroom in Cutler Park.





The cattails are encroaching on the boardwalk more than in previous visits.


A fair amount of mushrooms out there today, mostly Russulas.


Last time we were here we found a deer carcass. I think this is all that's left of it.


We let Maggie off-leash to hunt frogs, and she went further from shore than we've ever seen. A swan showed up and chased her back to land (sorry, no pictures--we were in a bit of a panic).


Meanwhile, Charlie surprised a family out for a paddle on the Charles.


Nice day for kayaking!
