The more you seek out beauty the more you will find it. In the humblest places, in subtle ways. Remarkable. #wsanecterritory #moss #こけ #forestwalk #wander #mosstodon

Some cute #mosses on my afternoon walk today. Love how #moss and #lichen cohabitates so happily together. Makes little mosaics on stone, branches, and the trunks of trees.

#ThickTrunkTuesday
photobombed by a cute owlet in the Pacific Northwest.

We've spotted this cute Barred Owlet standing tall, showing off her legs high up in the moss-covered trees, as s/he perched on a thin branch, being vigilant and poised, one of her wings stretched out. Such a character it looked like having wool leggings on, made me smile.
It was not easy to notice this little fledgling, her feathers blended in with the natural environment so much, providing camouflage among the dense, Pacific Northwest forest setting at Beaver Lake Park, Washington state in May 2024.

“These roots are made for walkin’
And that’s just what they’ll do
One of these days these roots
Are gonna walk all over you”

#ThickTrunkTuesday #trees #rocks #nature #NewEngland #moss

A large tree is growing atop a large rock in the forest. The trees massive roots extend above ground straddling the rock. One of these roots in nearly the size of the tree! Everything is covered with moss. Medium size trees are in the background.

Portraits of some of the recent lichens I've met. My guesses as to IDs:

* Flavoparmelia caperata
* A nice moss that looks like asparagus tips, with Xanthoria parietina & physcia adscendens (?) growing through / around it
* Parmotrema, physcia & candelariella
* Caloplaca species

Looking at the top of a horizontal fence rail, which is covered in layer after layer of grey-green lichen seemingly piled on top of one another. It has wide lobes like leaves, and sections of raised dots like tiny mushrooms

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.

#Mosstodon #Moss #Mousse #NaturePhotography

Photography of a straight forest path surrounded by natural, uneven rock walls/embankments 2 to 3 meters high. The rock is not actually visible because it is covered in a thick layer of moss and a few additional plants here and there. Trees with thin trunks and green leaves are growing at the top of the embankments on both sides.

Same as the first image, but taken further along the path

A Northern Green Frog found the perfect spot for the impending heatwave. Stay cool my little friend!

#Moss #Nature #Wildlife #Frogs #Mosstodon

Most of the photo is taken up by a large rock sitting in a shady brook. It is nearly entirely covered in bright green moss. Toward the center of the rock, on a mossy ledge, sits a Green Frog. Though much of its skin is metallic brown, the area under its eye and along mouth is bright green.

For #ThickTrunkTuesday I have a small maple draped with moss flanked by the massive trunks of two Coast Redwood trees (Sequoia sempervirens). Photographed at Jedediah Smith Redwoods State Park near Crescent City, California.

Trumpet Lichen (Cladonia fimbriata) growing between Haircap moss and stones

#lichen #lichensubscribe #moss #Mosstodon #closeup #nature

The photo shows a lichen growing on the ground between stones and dry haircap moss.
The lichen consists of tiny green lobes (leaves) at the base, from which small, upright, gray-green, trumpet-shaped podetia (the stems) grow.
The surface of the podetia looks as if it is covered with a granular powder called soredia.
The soredia consist of algae cells and fungal hyphae, a method of reproduction of the lichen when these soredia are spread by e.g. wind.

Yesterday I posted some #moss pictures from my lunchtime walk; that's currently the most-boosted toot I've had on Mastodon!

So here's some more - same walk, different bits of #mosses, #lichens, and #frosty leaves. Enjoy.

(To my US followers 🤫 ) I wrote: "Obviously, the immensely rich #diversity of choices offers evolutionary advantages for a wide variety of environments." I'm just writing about #moss sex. 😁 Without Newspeak. 💪

I'm proud to use the so-called "flagged" words ▶️ https://steadyhq.com/en/naturematchcuts/posts/00aabadd-63c5-4f3d-93a9-e93ebda61377

Yes, my podcast comeback episode will be about #Moss!

Elder branch with green moss in sunlight, and a small snow cap on the top. The branch looks like a lying person with outstretched arms, the snow like the head.

Misty walk 🐾

#Moss
#Portugal
#SilentSunday

A misty, moss-covered stone path leads past an old stone cottage with a weathered wooden door. A white cat walks along the mossy wall on the right side of the path, heading toward a blue wooden door in the background. The scene is lush with green foliage and surrounded by large mossy rocks, creating a tranquil, timeless atmosphere. Author: Linguist Gone Foreign

Did you ever gild #moss? I did! Look behind the scenes of producing my podcast episode about moss and how moss took revenge (I don't know why): https://steadyhq.com/en/naturematchcuts/posts/5d8402be-ad02-4d23-8c3b-4e42daf6a9b0 Of course you can listen to the episode now! And I interviewed a quite seditious tardigrade!
Just search #NatureMatchCuts on your podcatcher.

I’ve been following up on a Barred Owl family with three chicks. Love this captured moment as sunlight filtered through the trees of a dense PNW forest.
