One from a couple of weeks ago.... working away at the moment, so not had much time for my photos... catch up soon! Moss valley March 2016
Moss Glen Falls of Granville is a gorgeous horsetail with thin streams of water which choose their path down a slightly angled rock face. The falls start out by bubbling down over some short steps before spreading out to dance down into a light teal pool about 25 feet wide. The falls are located on VT 100, and they are a major contributing factor as to why this road is widely considered to be Vermont's most scenic byway.
This picture was taken in Ribeira de Ribamá near Vouzela, Portugal. The waterfall is close to a pedestrian trail sorrounded by a still unspoiled nature with a rich fauna and flora. Along about 3000 meters, there are dozens of old watermills that invite pedestrians to travel through times almost lost in the popular memory. In the riverside Ribamá develop species such as alder , elderberry , or willows , forming a magnificent grove.
The clear and cool waters of the Ribamá are the perfect habitat for many wildlife species, dependent strictly on the purity and good condition of these waterways. Endemic to the Iberian Peninsula many of them , for their great ecological importance, are protected under the Habitats Directive. Examples are the Lusitanian salamander , lizard - of - water, the otter and the mole - of - water.

The flora of the Andes National Park Cotopaxi (Ecuador) is rich in plants with delicate flowers, but unfortunately, for the most part, I don't know their names. But I'll show them to you anyway, they are very pretty!

Thank you for your visit, most appreciated!
Just a quick snap of a bit of moss struggling to stand tall while carrying a huge water droplet, on a wall in Sorn.
Legend has it that the moss grows on
The north side of the trees
Well, legend has it when the rain comes down
All the worms come up to breathe
Well, legend has it when the sunbeams come
All the plants, they eat them with their leaves
Well, legend has it that the world spins 'round
On an axis of 23 degrees
But have you heard the story of the rabbit in the moon?
Or the cow that hopped the planets while straddling a spoon
Or she, who leapt up mountains, while whistling up a tune
And swapped her songs with swallows while riding on a broom
Well, we can all learn things, both many and a-few
From that old hunched-up woman who lived inside a shoe
Or the girl that sang by day and by night she ate tear soup
Or the man who drank too much and he got the brewers' droop
Yes, I did lie down on wet moss to get this photo, on the quiet and cold morning of January 1, 2019. That may or may not have something to do with the cold I came down with soon after, but I don't regret it. :)
Peeking through the front window of my favorite of the cottages in the Historic district on Jekyll Island. Owned by the Macy family for 20 years. We couldn't get into this one this time. They seem to change which houses they allow tours to go through each time. I really like the color scheme inside this pretty home.
Happy Window Wednesday!
