Eliza Waters 
What an interesting find!
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.
You got that right, Linda! It draws me in every time.
The moss seems to be very happy, Eliza. They are soft to the touch. ☺️
The mild weather has kept them plump and richly green… always have to stop to touch and admire. 🙂
Yep!
🍀🌿🍀
😊 💚
Hi Eliza. You can always rely on moss for a photo opportunity!
MJ
I’m often stopped by their rich beauty and soft touch!
I love moss… never enough of it in my garden though …
It always grabs my attention… such a luscious green!
Better than grass, I think….
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. 🙂
Thank you, Judy. With the mild temps and rain, they’ve stayed deep green and plump all winter.
Depending on one’s perspective, they could also be moss mountains.
Yes, one could imagine flying over a volcanic island in the Pacific. Close as I’m likely to get to being there! 😉
Was there a rolling stone nearby?
Ha, most likely! 🙂
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! 😉
They might enjoy their winter retreat. 😀
I was thinking, to a little bug, these are mountains! Love the pop of green.
Thank you, Dale. They are worlds within worlds. 🙂
They really are 🙂
Yes, yes! I wonder what little dwelling lies beneath.
Definitely fairy, hobbit or elf housing! 🙂
You bet!
You have made me miss moss. There must be some in a swamp here somewhere. Amazing how green it looks. Hobbit housing, I think?
The moss this year has been fresh all winter with our mild temps. I often think of wee folk when I see old stumps covered with moss and lichen. I would love a house like that!
Me, too.
We have moss here, but not like the northern woods.
It’s like a whole other mini world! Lovely capture Eliza 💖
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.
Thank you, Kris. Yes, evergreen year round. It can dry out, if there isn’t much rain, then rehydrate again in the next rain. Quite hardy!
Nice to see some green right now!
For sure!!
Beautiful
Thank you! ❤
Interesting shot, Eliza. Is moss a sign of moisture, or is Spring on its way?
Most moss do like moisture, but some are drought tolerant, entering stasis, then rehydrating when it rains. This particular one is evergreen, often colonizing old stumps. I trust Spring is on its way regardless! 🙂
Thanks for the clarification! Perhaps the Groundhog was wrong??
🙂
Stumped! Nice find, Eliza!
Thanks, Steve!
Looks like a few different kinds of moss with different textures and shades of green. So much fodder for the imagination, great fairy habitat. 🙂
Thank you, Barbara, I can easily get lost in scenes like this. 😉
Wonderful photography! I love mosses. 😍✨
Thank you, they are particularly lush this winter. 🙂
