About this blog:
We love traveling. We always capture tons of pictures from wherever we've been and we like sharing our traveling experiences with our friends. So, this is how this blog began - as short stories with pictures in an attempt to share where we've been and what we've seen. Even not stories , but just notes. Nothing serious and big. Mostly I'm writing these stories on a rush and sometimes even don't have time to re-read them. So, I apologize in advance for possible typos here and there. There can be some factual errors or inaccuracies and they even might be corrected one day. Don't hesitate to contact me if you find something that needs to be fixed and don't expect these notes to be a perfect novels ;) The stories in this blog are not in chronological order, but I will try to remember to put the date of the trip. So... welcome to this blog and, hopefully, you will find something interesting and have the same feeling we had when we were there. Let's go...
And... by the way... all pictures and texts in this blog are protected by International and USA Copyright laws, so if you'd like to repost or use something on your page - contact me first.
Using anything published here without permission is violation of the law and... it isn't really nice...

Mmmushroommmms ;)

 Do you like wild mushrooms? I like them... And I love going to the woods and picking them up...

 
Someplace nearby Echo Lake you can find so many spots you can climb up and find something nice. Pines, for example ;) And if you are lucky, you can find some mushrooms too!


This was the first I found this day. No, I didn't pick this one. But I really like the look of this red-and-white beauty, don't you?


But this porcini is the one you have to grab once you see it. Nice and fresh. Meaty and tasty... Mmmmm... you cannot find a better mushroom, believe me!


Just remember, all mushrooms are masters of camouflage. You cannot easily spot them. You have to find them!



The mushrooms use everything to hide behind. The leaves and branches, the pine needles and rocks. Everything is good and they know that.





Aren't they beautiful? Huh?





And if you are lucky, you have a trunkload of them and they look even better all together.


Now you can clean them... Slice and chop them...
 

And you can make an amazing mushroom soup. It's just delicious, believe me!


Or you can sauté them and serve with potato and fresh veggies. That's a feast!
