................Ben and ventured out to the Boundary Waters last weekend. We entered in at Brule Lake and did a short paddle to our campsite. We camped on a island, and our spot was in a little cove so the lake was very calm despite how windy it was (paddling there was a different story). I forget how amazing it is up there. The evening is so quiet and you feel like your the only one in the world. Ben and I spent most of our time hanging out around a fire, exploring the island and sipping on hot chocolate. I found these small pink balls on a log and first I thought they were man made. They reminded me of those candy dots, but upon closer inspection I realized they were some sort of fungus. When poked, pink goo would come out. The pictures do not do them justice, they looked unnaturally pink. Does anyone know the proper name for these? I tried looking them up, but only found "pink fungus balls".

I wish I took more pictures, but I have been really trying hard not get carried away with my camera. Enjoying the moment right then and there is what's most important, ya know?

What a beautiful place, and a lovely way to spend a weekend.
"Enjoying the moment right then and there is what's most important, ya know?" Amen sister, I have been trying to follow that same philosphy lately (I'm generally too photo-obsessed). I forgot my camera yesterday on our little day trip, but it was great because I managed to spend an entire delightful day "free" from my obsession. I didn't even pull out the backup iPhone for one single shot.
