During one of my weekly runs on the Kip Track Trail, I noticed this fungus all alone in a sea of pine needles and brush. I stopped and crouched down to take a closer look and noticed the little bird's nest next to it. Normally when I run, I try to clear my head or I have random thoughts and ideas jumping around--sometimes even a random playlist of music (I never run with headphones). After encountering these two pieces of nature, I continued running and began to think of a story that coincided with their placement. I kept imagining a little insect or something using the space as a humble abode and I even pictured a cartoon/children's story that could stem from the scene. All in all, this encounter provided me with something new to think about on one of my lovely Canton runs!
