The dappled sunlight on the fern and moss and rocks was lovely. Sat and enjoyed the babbling of the brook. Taken at Chatfield Hollow State Park in Connecticut.

I caught a glimpse of this little roadside rivulet as we were driving by on the Icefields Parkway in the Alberta Rockies. I've never seen anything quite like it - an amazing micro environment of colourlul mosses and lichens.
Day 2/365 This moss really stands out in the morning sunlight. (This is a bit overblown in places, especially on the top l/h corner - would a grad filter have helped?)
Woodland study of moss-covered tree stump just catching the morning sunlight—a bit too punchy, maybe. See what you think.
As always thank you for looking

A compass isn't needed in this neck of the woods. The vast majority of the moss grows on the north side of the tree.
'The monks of the nearby monasteries would gather pillows of this moss,' said Miguel, pressing it with his fingertips, 'and sleep with their heads on them. The moss drew away bad thoughts from the mind, and soaked up dark dreams.'
I liked the sound of that: moss as nightmare proofing-absorbent, a dabbing cloth for ill feelings."

The great thing about living in the woods is that there are always interesting macro shots whenever the sun comes out for even a few minutes.
I was just walking around my local area when it wasn't raining and noticed the sunshine coming through the trees and hitting this moss which was on a tree branch. I love how the sun is resting on the top and leaving some shaded areas in the shot.
