Unfortunately I'm busy this days, so today I only had some little time and I went again on a little walk to explore the small forest near the Lech Walesa Airport in Gdansk.
Unsea Moss - this moss is hanging on many pine trees in the area - mostly Lodgepole pines I believe.
The trail starts near the Moffat Tunnel just west of Rollinsville, CO.
This was taken in the morning with sunlight streaming through other trees in the forest and backlighting the moss.
If you're ever in the area, give this trail a try (but not in the winter ; ).

I took a walk in a forest at Välsta in Tungelsta today. Autumn colors all around. The fence to the right is because of the horses that you would normally find here.
