You can find moss on the bark of roadside trees, in school yards, under concrete walls and in other familiar places. When you look at it with a loupe up close, it looks like a forest! Various kinds of moss grow in mixtures, each with its own unique and exquisite appearance. Its appearance has hardly changed since 400 million years ago.
Spent the day out at Tidbinbilla south of Canberra today. Such a great #wildlife spotting day!
Saw my first Lyrebird despite hearing them all my life! And saw my first Bandicoot! So cute and not particularly shy, so managed a video just with my phone (which I don't seem to be able to upload), so here is a still and bonus #moss and #fungi
I mentioned walls of moss, but I am tragically unable to choose just one picture worth my delight at this short but intensely mossy path. You can breathe the green just looking at the pictures.
En kyllä arvannut kun aamulla metsään läksin, mitä siellä tarttuisi kameraan.
As I went out this morning, I had no idea what I would be catching on my camera in the woods.
I love the way this tree's roots look as they stretch their way over the mossy rocks and down toward the creek. Gives me a real jungle-y feel, and I really dig that 😁💚
Sexy time among the moss along #ClearCreekTrail. I noticed one of the capsules looks like a gulper eel (#2 is a closer crop on #1). I'm not very familiar with mosses. Is that what the capsule typically looks like before/after it releases its spores?
