There is no line between nature and man made, there is only the illusion.

The vivid green of this young patch of moss and lichen was striking.

wet from the rain...

I like photographing these.

& great that they dont run or fly away.

but it was windy so they were vibrating as i watched them through the lens waiting for a still moment.

and some music if you like

One of the metal garden torches did hibernate in the garden. Today I discovered it again and to my big surprise and admiration a moss colony did keep the wick 'burning' now.

I will leave it like this !

Een metalen tuinfakkel overwinterde in de tuin. Vandaag vond ik hem weer terug en tot mijn grote verbazing en bewondering hield een mos kolonie de pit nu 'brandende'.

Ik laat het zo !

I was looking out the window and saw all this moss on my Azalea bushes and decided to go take a Macro of it.. Then that led to the Twirl and then why not a Droste design in the PBAccelerator... I have taken pictures of just about everything in my yard and a lot of what's in my house and so now is play time...

With the Rain,comes the Moss.
