A witchy Halloween
I'm in the DC area and exploring - there's a surprising amount of wild areas interspersed into the city areas. On Halloween I went hiking through Soapstone Valley park and saw a ton of mushrooms in a rainbow of colors.
I also ran into a coven of 4 witches (2 dressed as witches, 1 as a black cat, 1 as unsure) who were reading tea leaves by the stream in the park. I read their palms in exchange for a tea leaf reading - apparently they're going to all have 1-2 "kids" (cats lol) and I'm expecting annoyances and misfortune in my future. RIP.
More observations for this location coming soon, it's slow work uploading them from my phone.
