This morning, we went for a walk at the Nags Head Woods Ecological Preserve, operated by the Nature Conservancy.
You can see a little how the preserve contains different ecosystems...you start out in the swamp, then climb into the forest, then come out onto a sandy hillside with pines...then back into the woods.

| I thought maybe this was a salt-loving fern, but Wikipedia says the word "bracken" just comes from an Old Norse word for fern. |

| Sassafras tree |
 |
| A mushroom with a red top--not sure what kind |
