Glad you all enjoyed the vid. Here is the companion, this time focusing on the trees, river, and waterfalls.

Wonderful videos Tom!!!! Bravo!

Beautiful, both of the videos !!!!!

Whereas the fern/moss sequence is extremely interesting, I liked to relax with the sound of the water, and watching the beautiful images of fall colors and waterflow! Thanks Tom!

Btw. I thought I spotted a large white mushroom in the second video, but then it began to move: must have been an umbrella !!

Thanks for watching everyone. The intention is to bring my experience here directly to anyone interested in a convenient, and hopefully, informative way. I condense down what I'm actually seeing, almost step by step, especially in the last video. So, you are getting an actual view into the world I talk about in my articles.

Jean, making the second video mostly free from my banter was intentional. The beauty of such a lovely place speaks for itself. Yes, there were lots of mushrooms that day, both human and otherwise :rollhappy:

Tom's voice is also very calm.

Just think what these videos would be like if this was like a crocodile hunter version!!

Wine and Red Bull in one gulp!
