Cranberry Lake Preserve

Cranberry Lake Preserve is in Westchester County, New York. It is by the Kensico Reservoir. We had a nice 1.5 mile hiked around the pond. I prefer scrambled eggs to dog vomit for the name of the fungus. I gave the last three photographs watercolor and sketch effects in Photoshop.

    A really good collection of pictures. I hope the second one is slime mould. Someone gave the area a brilliant title

      Dog vomit slime mold is the actual name. It is also sometimes called scrambled egg slime mold. I used iNaturalist to ID it. I love that app.
