Spring at the Prop

I decided to head to the prop for lunch and just take some time with my camera to capture some random shots.

Here's a pic of the old hickory that died, looking back across the old bee yard towards the winter pen.  That stump is so dug in that I gave up trying to get it out.  Instead, I put a mushroom log on top of it to see if the mushrooms will do the job for me.

One of our projects this winter was to clean up the old graveyard.  Here are some markers that are so old, they don't even have a name on them.  They used to be so buried in undergrowth that initially we didn't even know they were there.

Another perspective on the markers.  In the foreground, on the right, you can see the remains of a fire we lit to burn of some of the cut wood.  It's also good for keeping the weeds down.  Nothing will grow on a fire spot for at least 2 years.

I found this weird fluorescent mold growing on a tree back in the forest.  At first I thought it was spray paint, but it was actually mold.  It interesting all the oddities we find back in the primeval forest.
