      Thank you, Anne. Our forests are damp enough to host lots of moss and lichen. When a trail follows a stream, there is always lots of it to see. A welcome green at this time of year. 🙂

    This time of year, I suspect you northerners will take your green where you can find it.

    The moss seems to be very happy, Eliza. They are soft to the touch. ☺️

    Hi Eliza. You can always rely on moss for a photo opportunity!

    I love moss… never enough of it in my garden though …

    Nice. We have a concrete ledge running along one side of our barn, and there are small pieces of moss all along the ledge. The bright green pops. 🙂

    Depending on one’s perspective, they could also be moss mountains.

    Was there a rolling stone nearby?

    So much life in there! I love using these when making my yearly terrarium for winter. Don’t worry….I return them in the spring! 😉

    I was thinking, to a little bug, these are mountains! Love the pop of green.

    Yes, yes! I wonder what little dwelling lies beneath.

    You have made me miss moss. There must be some in a swamp here somewhere. Amazing how green it looks. Hobbit housing, I think?

    We have moss here, but not like the northern woods.

    Moss turrets or moss turds? 😊

    I didn’t realize that moss was so hardy! That bright green looks all the more wonderful against an icy backdrop.

    Interesting shot, Eliza. Is moss a sign of moisture, or is Spring on its way?

    Looks like a few different kinds of moss with different textures and shades of green. So much fodder for the imagination, great fairy habitat. 🙂
