So I wandered along for a bit, trying to both scan my surroundings for things to photograph and avoid stepping in deer droppings. A bit of red on the ground caught my eye, and when I crouched down I discovered it was a wild strawberry. Considering it's been there since last summer, I thought it was in pretty good shape:
