Beastly, gnarly, mossy rootball on the Fern Creek trail
Fern Creek Trail, Muir Woods (Mt. Tamalpais)
Mt. Tam is the largest mountain in the Bay Area, standing tall over the Pacific Ocean with incredible views. But the forests surrounding it, including the famous John Muir Woods, are a tangle of trails moving through gorgeous redwoods, creeks, fallen logs.
This is a shot of one formerly great redwood, fallen when its roots got loose in a storm probably. Over time, its roots were overtaken by forest moss. At first I didn't think I'd be able to capture it in the dull valley light, but then a few rays poked through just as we were saying goodbye to it, and this one sort of worked out.
Over on Mastodon, there’s a trend where people post images of moss and add hashtag #mosstodon. Not sure that will work here :)
