challenge Flickr group 'Macro Mondays', theme: 'Into the Woods'
Into the Woods I went, alas this wood was dense and dark, wet and muddy (my shoes and trousers too) and the most interesting things were on the ground (forcing me to do the same) ....
On top of all that my dog did run away, it took more than an hour before I found him again: he was waiting by my car ! ;-)
Back home I could delete nearly all photos as they were too busy, had no contrast, had a too small DoF, etc.
But I was happy to see some nice ones too ! These were taken in a glade -open space in the wood- where some fallen trees were covered with moss.

This barn attracted me as it appears it is built around a tree and is smothered in moss and ivy. The brutal corrugated metal front has a rich blue patina.
For Macro Mondays theme 'M'.
Some sprouting moss from a plant pot in my greenhouse was sprayed with a little water and set up using strong sunshine as backlight. I played around with a variety of compositions, but I wasn't very satisfied with any of them. Then I thought to try using my Raynox DCR-250 attached to the front of my macro lens - this was taken as a 17-shot focus stack of the wet moss, focusing on one of the reproductive structures that contains the spores. The Raynox attachment gives a very shallow dof leaving the body of the damp moss to provide attractive bokeh. Given that the 'head' was 4 mm long, the image spans about 2 cm.

This small tarn is a short walk from Hilltop and was also owned by Beatrix Potter. She apparently kept a boat on the tarn and often spent evenings here with her husband William Heelis.

Not too far away from Nail Factory Falls is this 20 foot wall of water called Moss Glen Falls (though I've heard it refereed to as Gator Falls)

Moss plays an important role in forest ecosystems, both in terms of its ecological function and its aesthetic appeal.
Ecologically, moss helps to regulate water levels in the forest by absorbing and holding onto moisture, preventing soil erosion, and providing a habitat for other organisms. Moss also acts as a natural filter, helping to purify water and absorb pollutants.
Aesthetically, moss is often considered lovely in a forest setting because of its lush green color and soft, velvety texture. It can create a peaceful, serene atmosphere, particularly when growing on rocks, fallen logs, or the forest floor. The slow growth and longevity of moss also add to its beauty, as it can take years or even centuries to develop into a mature clump.
Moss in a forest setting can also have cultural significance. In many cultures, moss is associated with tranquility, longevity, and harmony with nature. It is often used in traditional art forms, such as Japanese gardening and Scandinavian moss art, as well as in modern art installations and nature-based design.
