The Critters of Lost River, Virginia

A fuschia colored fungus. . .there were several of these along the path.
An orange newt? lizard? whatever it is.
A turtle with its heat and feet out! I was ecstatic. . .how often do you see just the shell?

And then a woodchuck scampered just ahead. After that I saw a deer and said to Butch, "Oh, oh, the creatures are getting bigger and bigger. I hope that deer's the biggest we see." It wasn't. About an hour later I saw a beer lumbering about 20 feet away, parallel to the trail on which we were hiking.
