AFTER THE RAINS CAME AND WENT
The woods were quiet yesterday morning, as if the denizens were stilled stunned by the savage rain of the night before
It was windy and cool, no one was fishing
The Econfina was swollen, running hard
Spanish moss clings to life on an oak tree, which is all it ever does
Little steams leading to the river were rampaging torrents compared to their usual brooklet selves
Star Anise, a bottom-land, understory plant
Fungi break down dead wood, return it to the soil from whence it came
Witches Butter(Tremella mesenterica), is an edible fungus
A final look down into the ravine. Soon, Spring's greenery will fill in the blank spaces, and this vista will disappear until next winter

Very nice shots.
Well told photo blog. I like the pictures.
As it should be after torrential rains -- beautiful photos!
okay, now i ache for Spring to come to the frozen tundra here in Michigan
Is star anise a wild plant? We have a packet of it we bought at the grocery store.
@Roadkill_Spatula - It grows as understory plant down in the ravines, always near running water
